After being forced into living in temporary accomodation over a Christmas perios, Terri now lives in Feltham, with her two children. Having a child with autism who also battled cancer inspired this debut text. After working as an actor, setting up a theatre company and having two children, Terri rediscovered her passion to write. "My own highs and lows as a mother hugely influence my writing. Motherhood has continued to be an adventure that constantly challenges me to seek out stories that echo the experiences of my own children. Reading to them provides a safe space and a wonderful escape. I love seeing their faces light up as we turn the pages of a new book.”
