Description
"Second Hand Rose" by Eleni Simpson is a poignant memoir that chronicles the author’s journey from a traumatic childhood in Cyprus to her tumultuous life in England.
Born into a web of strained familial bonds, Eleni’s story begins with hardship and abandonment. From the brutal reality of being given away at just 40 days old to being thrust into a strict convent school in England, her narrative is marked by resilience in the face of neglect and abuse, underlined by her deep love for her Christian faith.
As Eleni transitions from childhood to young adulthood under the care of Barnardo’s, she battles the emotional scars of her upbringing while seeking independence and love. This deeply emotional autobiography illuminates the strength of the human spirit, capturing moments of betrayal, unexpected kindness, and the quest for belonging amidst life’s harshest circumstances.
All proceeds from sales of 'Second Hand Rose' will be going to Barnardo's Children's Charity.
