What makes an author VERY happy? Seeing my book Pulling Through: Help for Families Navigating Life Changing Illness on display, thanks @WstonesEaling ! And is it a sign that I’m placed next to You Deserve to be Rich? I do hope so!

Nature really helped my husband recover from #braininjury and helps me every day as his carer. I absolutely LOVE this little poster inspired by my book! Thank you @NewcombLibrary - I hope it speaks to others too! #CarersWeek @encephalitis @JKPBooks

[Catherine Jessop @BooksCanHelp]

It’s #carersweek2023 and I’m v excited to be with @NewcombLibrary on a Wednesday. Sharing our experiences honestly is a valuable way to make #carers more visible and valued - one of the reasons for writing my book! Shout out to all my fellow carers - we are superheroes! @JKPBooks

[Catherine Jessop @BooksCanHelp]

So very pleased to be doing this and looking forward to discussing how both writing and reading about our experiences are a great way to share the stuff that really matters. @JKPBooks #CarersWeek #MentalHealthAwareness

Please retweet this many, many, many times. It's horrific.
@MarinaHyde is so right.
Why isn't this is a huge scandal?

Hundreds of lives ruined. Not a single person held to account. And still: silence on the Post Office scandal | Marina Hyde https://t.co/hiTNKSc699

[Catherine Jessop @BooksCanHelp]

Thanks so much @KKessack! Resonating with others, feeling “seen” and revealing “me too, this feeling is normal” is exactly what I wanted to achieve. Thanks @JKPBooks for sharing real life experiences in order to help others, and not just publishing “celebs do hospital” memoirs!

[KarenKessack @KKessack]

Really enjoying my gift @NewcombLibrary @NHSHomerton #pullingthrough by @BooksCanHelp
A couple of chapters in and resonating so much as wife of a superhero with #Parkinsons
Ten years since dx this is a welcome ‘yes me too, maybe this is a normal feeling’ read 😊

[Catherine Jessop @BooksCanHelp]

Hope everyone enjoys it! 🤗📚Thanks @readingagency and @DCHFT_Library

@NewcombLibrary @WorldBookNight @mcmanusb @huhfacilities @HomertonSafety @EnableHomerton @2getherWe__Rise @NHSHomerton @huhmaternity @RNRUOutreach @LocomotorHUH @Dalytimes I think people would especially enjoy it if they have any connection to hospitals, brain injury or caring for someone. And despite the difficult subject, readers have found it gripping, entertaining and even funny!

[Catherine Jessop @BooksCanHelp]

I believe that books can help anyone through tough times and I was surprised to find there wasn't one specifically to support families with hospitals and illness. So I wrote it! I hope it reaches anyone who's struggling to cope as a patient, or caring for someone who is ill.

[JKP Books @JKPBooks]

We're proud to have Pulling Through by Catherine Jessop @BooksCanHelp in this year's selection of books.

This means it will be gifted through organisations including prisons, libraries, and hospitals to reach those who don't regularly read!

[Catherine Jessop @BooksCanHelp]

@DCHFT_Library @DCHFT Hope all the recipients enjoy it!

[Catherine Jessop @BooksCanHelp]

@NewcombLibrary @WorldBookNight Oh my goodness of course you can! Anything I can do to help - please do just ask!

[Catherine Jessop @BooksCanHelp]

Thanks @NewcombLibrary and I hope everyone who gets a copy finds it helpful. It’s for anyone who finds themself in the world of illness, hospitals or caring. I think that sharing our experiences can be a great source of support and books CAN make things better! @WorldBookNight
