An Hour Later.

By Shona Widdry

Hello,
I am called Shona and a novel called, An Hour Too Soon? has been written about me. Why? Well, back to 1994 and at 17 I was not a party-goer, nor did I drink. Weekends, back then, I spent as a volunteer at a cat’s home. Weekdays, I studied for a life that, little did I know at the time, I was never going to have. It was, to the casual observer, just mundane family life – well, almost.
People see what they want to see. To my friends and family I had a lot but dark thoughts and dark deeds about events, true or false, make up my story. Some of these thoughts have been recorded in An Hour Later, a book available for free.
And who is the Shona who tells this story?

Did I really have a need to tell? Well, when you live with something, when you experience the darkest of days and as the hypocrisy grows deeper within you, then yes, you need to tell someone.

How do you tell someone something that is quite horrific? How would you feel about revealing something that happened in your past, then seeing it all in print? Something so personal and heart breaking – revealed for all the world to read?
