About this ebook
In 1960s Bristol, a family is overshadowed by heartbreak.
Feisty seven year old Susan and her mother, Eddress, are living in a world darkening by tragedy.
While Susan is being brave, Eddress is struggling for courage.
How does a child cope when faced with a wall of adult secrets? What does a mother do when her biggest fear starts to become a reality?
Set in the sixties, when it was considered shameful to acknowledge your emotions and a fridge is a luxury, Just One More Day is a deeply moving true-life account, told by mother and daughter, of how the spectre of death moved into their family, and how hard they tried to pretend it wasn't there.

‘Spellbinding! You just keep turning the pages, with the atmosphere growing more and more intense as the story leads to its dramatic climax’ Daily Mail
