This is a book about mistakes. And why we should de-flower shame in all its messy, complicated glory...

This book contains tales of dead dads, pretend dead dads, getting barred from an osteopath's, getting arrested, sex crimes and forgiveness.

I used to be addicted to boys and alcohol and then men and alcohol and then some other things. I was a little unhinged. I've got some great stories about when I was as mad as cheese and then some more stories about how I got less mad and more happy.

If that's the sort of thing you're after, please pick me up and take me to bed (that's the book speaking so a little joke there).
