I thought ......Wrong!

About the Book

Jamie is a fictitious character however most of the trials and happenings of his life are from true life stories belonging to the many youngsters I have had the pleasure of knowing during my lifetime so far. I hope people will enjoy this book and it will hopefully only be the beginning of many books about Jamie’s Life.

About the Author

I was brought up in the village of Larkhall with two brothers and two sisters and we always played well together and enjoyed each others company while growing up. Our parents were very encouraging and allowed us to be as independent as we could be. I always did lots of baby sitting for friends and family from quite a young age. My husband and I got married in 1978 and we had four children. It was a lovely time while they were growing up and our home was always busy with other children visiting and playing. During those years my husband and I helped run a youth fellowship for youngsters between the ages of 12 - 16 in our local church for many years so we got to know some of the problems that youngsters face from time to time. I also joined the Children’s Panel for three years which was very enjoyable and educational. I felt that I wanted to do something to try and help these youngsters and I hoped that writing about Jamie might let somebody know that it’s ok to be different. I have always wanted to write a book especially aimed at ages 10 - to early teens. I thought....Wrong is a book that I think will appeal to many since the character Jamie is someone who is very aware of those around him and what he thinks is expected of him. Like most youngsters he gives himself a hard time believing he does not fit the ‘image’ he thinks he ought to be. However as time goes on................................. Sandra C Farrell
