An author from Rishton has had her first book published – charting a woman’s struggles to overcome a difficult upbringing.
Hazel Robinson’s first book ‘Something Missing’ was released last month and is a love story which deals with overcoming problems in relationships.
A self-confessed bookworm, Hazel says she is hoping to write more in the near future.
She said: “I am addicted to books and got friendly with an author who encouraged me to have a go myself.
“I started writing a year ago and approached Little Bird publishers who have now printed my debut novel.
“Something Missing’ is the first in an ongoing series and I am working on the sequel now.”
The book is now available to buy and is on sale at Amazon.
The novel documents orphan Susan as she begins a harrowing journey through the care system.
Left with both mental and physical scars, she approaches adulthood with a self-destructive impulse.
However, there is hope in the figure of her childhood friend, Max; the first boy she ever kissed.
With him by her side, she attempts to find the path her life should have taken, to build a home, to heal old wounds, and to finally create a family that will stop the terrible feeling of something missing.
But Max has a secret, one that risks destroying all hope of a happy ever after, unless they can find a way to heal one another.
