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).
