Description
'The most moving book of the year' - Daily Mail
'A brave and candid book' - Metro
In his heartbreaking memoir, Simon Thomas (former Blue Peter presenter and one of the leading faces of Sky Sports Football) reveals how grief nearly destroyed him.
When Simon lost the woman he had loved for 16 years, the future he'd imagined for their happy family disappeared forever. Just three days after being diagnosed, Gemma died from acute myeloid leukaemia.
In Love, Interrupted, Simon is brutally honest about his journey through grief, and opens up about how close he came to ending his own life. Simon didn't know how to carry on without Gemma; he just knew that, for the sake of his eight-year-old son, he had to find a way...
Love, Interrupted is a moving story of love, loss, faith, and family.
