June Griffin who writes under the pen name of Amber Gray has just published her first novel, What Goes Around which she tells me is based on real life experience which explores family relationships, community etc through the decades from the 1940s to present day. She was born off Parrin Lane, Winton the seventh child of nine and the first one to pass the scholarship exam for Eccles Grammar this despite her Mother leaving when she was aged just eight and her Father being a heavy drinker, a life she admits was tough but lessons were learned. With an intriguing strap line that reads... Four women, Three generations, Two deaths, One broken family the stage is set for a psychological domestic drama in tough, working class, post war Manchester homes, women from the same family struggle to find stability in a world shaken by, power, control and abuse. In the 1940s, Kathleen is desperate to break free of her domineering and abusive mother, she falls for Cyril at a dance but finds herself in a worse situation than before. Marian, born to Kathleen and Cyril, raised in neglect and abuse, is determined to break the cycle. Shauna, the offspring of an incestuous liaison, is a social misfit set on revenge. Marian's daughter Dolores has a less than perfect start in life, but will she be the one to break the mould? Sounds intriguing with a plot that promise much doesn't it? So why not support your local author and purchase a copy of What Goes Around.
