All the Times You Were Not There is a story about growing up in an East End family in 1980s London. It’s a story about elite sport and illegal raves. It’s about drug addiction, steroid abuse and how everything you thought you ever wanted can end up nearly killing you. It’s about Essex, XR3is and having a world champion powerlifter for a dad. This is a story about finding faith and finding yourself when everything around you is falling apart.

All the Times You Were Not There is a powerful memoir about a girl who thought nothing could ever go wrong. It’s about an ordinary family, elite sport and how everything you thought you ever wanted can end up nearly killing you. It’s about growing up under the shadow of a drug addiction that no one saw coming, finding faith and holding onto hope that good can come from even the most painful of circumstances.
