Teenager's First Novel

Periódico:
When she was 14, Karin Peters' uncle died of cancer. 'It felt like a bomb had been dropped on top of my world,' she says.

When she was 14, Karin Peters' uncle died of cancer. 'It felt like a bomb had been dropped on top of my world,' she says. In her attempt to come to terms with what had happened she found herself writing a novel, about a teenager struggling with the disease.

Three years later, the book has been published in Britain, and in Sweden, her mother's country. Readers accompany 15-year-old Vada through the ups and downs of her disease - and of teenage life. In the process she learns about herself and her faith and relationships become stronger.

The book was originally written by hand and then typed up and printed out with the help of her family. Sales of the first self-published edition raised over GBP300 for cancer charities.

The title refers to the fact that one in three people will suffer from cancer at some point in their lives. Written in an authentic teenage voice, this book will appeal to all ages.

Every third person' by Karin Peters, Highland Books, Godalming, GBP4.99, ISBN: 1-897913-66-4
