Blood Is Thicker Than Alcohol: Book launch with Tracey Ford

  • Sheffield Cathedral Church Street Sheffield S1 1HA (map)

Join Writers Workshop member Tracey Ford for the launch of her memoir, Blood Is Thicker Than Alcohol.

Tracey’s story unfolds with gripping honesty, tracing her journey from a young girl longing for her father’s love to a woman determined to break generational cycles. She combines professional insight and personal vulnerability to deliver a raw and emotionally resonant account of the impact of addiction, and an uplifting tale of recovery and the process of becoming a writer.

This launch is not just a celebration of Tracey's book but of anyone who has an interest in addiction recovery and writing.

Ticket donations are in aid of The Archer Project (20% of the donation goes toward the cost of organising the event).
