Dear fellow human,
I know that life can feel like a challenge at times, in fact, I know better than most because I experienced more than my fair share of challenges in the space of 12 months.
You are a born survivor, it may not feel like it right now, but you are.
‘Life is hard, and money is tight’
‘I don’t know if I can keep going’
‘Why am I even bothering’
I know you have said these things, so have I, the more you say them the more they stick.
But you can change your thinking.
In my book I tell a fictionalised version of my story based on real life events. I share raw emotions, the things that go on behind closed doors that nobody ever discusses, and I explore the true nature of relationships.
In this book you will discover:
You will listen to me reading the very beginning of what becomes a jaw dropping story of resilience and survival. You will hear me start to share an emotional journey with you that took courage to write.
I wrote it for you…
I am no different to you. I am just a girl from Manchester who now lives in Scotland with a very big story to tell. They say that everyone has a book in them, well I believe that this is the truth. When I sat down to write my story the first time it was like pulling teeth. I ended up spilling coffee on my laptop, losing what I had written and starting again 6 years later. That weekend I wrote 18,000 words and they flowed from my fingers.
I had a message to share with the world, with YOU!
One that will…

A gripping tale of strength, resilience and of how life can be devastating yet beautiful at the same time.
She was born to a working-class family in Manchester. Her father was her inspiration. She idolised this charismatic man, and he told her every day that she was special. Emulating her beloved father’s work ethic, Mandy worked on a market stall at thirteen years old, then went off to university at eighteen, always working to help financially. From nothing and nowhere she built a successful career in an unexpected place. She was admired, respected and had made it.
Then her world literally fell apart and life took her on a journey from abundance to rock bottom. There were lessons to be learned on this rocky road and if she wanted to stay alive, it was her duty to learn them.
Facing relentless challenges, losing people she loved and every penny she had, many would have given up. But not this woman, because her dad had told her she was special.
Heart-breaking, enlightening and ultimately uplifting, The Life I Won tells a story of success despite adversity. It will teach you that if you have the right attitude, you can play the game of life and win, no matter how bad it seems.
