It\u2019s my amazing Mum\u2019s birthday this week, the first without her here. If there\u2019s an Amazon in heaven, I know you\u2019d already have bought a copy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the title hints at an adventure story, the book is less about trekking and more about the emotional journey that follows loss. It\u2019s a reflection on resilience, friendship, and finding laughter in the moments you least expect it.<\/p>\n<p>The Jersey Cheshire Home community has been central to Donna\u2019s story, both in life and in the pages of the book. Proceeds from sales will go towards supporting the charity\u2019s work with people living with complex disabilities in the island.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWriting this book helped me through the storm of losing Mum. She loved stories, she\u2019d have laughed at some parts, cried at others, and definitely had her say about what I made up. It\u2019s strange she\u2019s not here to read it, but this is for her.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donna Abel, Chief Executive of Jersey Cheshire Home, has released her debut book.
