I’m so grateful to share that my author’s book release event for A Debt of Love: Honouring and Thanking Our Parentswas held at Dagenham Library, supported by Pen to Print. The event was truly heartwarming and a beautiful celebration of gratitude, art, and community.

It was an honour to be joined by a local councillor, along with many wonderful guests who came to support and connect through the themes of the book. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and reflection as we explored the message behind A Debt of Love — recognising the love, sacrifice, and guidance of parents, grandparents, foster carers, and all who take on the role of caregiver.

I’m deeply thankful to Pen to Print and Dagenham Library for making this event possible, and to everyone who attended and shared in this meaningful moment. It was not only a book launch, but a gathering of hearts — united by gratitude and love.
