Amanda Brooke is a single mum who lives in Liverpool with her daughter Jessica. It was only when her young son was diagnosed with cancer that Amanda began to develop her writing, recording her familys journey in a journal and through poetry. When Nathan died in 2006 at just three years old, Amanda was determined that his legacy would be one of inspiration not devastation. Her debut nove,l Yesterdays Sun, was inspired by her experiences of motherhood and her understanding of how much a mother would be willing to sacrifice for the life of her child.
