Overcoming Adversity Launch

A collection of seventy moving and uplifting original pieces - real life, flash fiction, and poetry - about battling against the odds and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit. The contributors include Amazon bestselling authors Alex J. Cavanaugh and Kyra Lennon, and the cream of upcoming talent.

The anthology is part of a fundraising effort to send the editor's stepson, Andrew McNaughton, to a specialist college in England. Andrew has cerebral palsy, and is a remarkable young man with a promising future. However, the free further education options offered in his own country of Scotland will not challenge him and allow him to progress. In order to access the education he deserves, Andrew will have to pay exorbitant fees, thus creating a situation of discrimination.

Help us get Andrew to college by buying a book that runs the full gamut of human emotions, ultimately leaving you inspired and glad to be alive. Whatever struggles you are going through, our sincere hope is that this book will help.

Nick Wilford is a writer and stay-at-home dad. Once a journalist, he now makes use of those rare times when the house is quiet to explore the realms of fiction. When not writing he can usually be found spending time with his family or cleaning something. He has four short stories published in Writer’s Muse magazine. Nick is also co-running a campaign to get a dedicated specialist college built in Scotland. Visit him at http://nickwilford.blogspot.co.uk/.

The cover was designed by D.R. Cartwright from a concept by Ella Wilson.

What a wonderful cause. I just bought a copy and I hope many more sell. I'm glad to be part of today's launch.

What a wonderful cause. It's a shame that educators or a government can leave someone to languish when they have potential.

Kelley Lynn said...

I have a Nook so I have to wait till it comes out in paperback. :)

Hope you had a great weekend!

I am familiar with Andrew McNaughton's crusade and hope it works out for him and his family. To be honest, this is something the state should readily provide without parents having to raise funds independently.
