"I, more than most, have had to learn how to live my life one day at a time. I’ve believed for many years that “labels are for jars and not people”, but the penny hadn’t dropped that this also applied to me." ~ Cynthia Spillman

This adapted version of a recovery story by Cynthia Spillman was first published on The Scottish Book Trust’s website. Her recovery from the emotional pain of one child’s death and another’s injury, and the resulting mental health issues, is explored here in a story focusing on hope, humour and enjoying life to the full.
