100 Club - Gillian's story

What's your proudest achievement? For Gillian Forrester from Standish it was the publication of her first book.


As well as her very own ISBN number, Gillian received attention from local school children and is even stopped in the street in Standish!

"The book got published and I had a wonderful night in Bolton. I was drinking a lot of wine and getting redder and redder and feeling like my face is going to explode with the heat. If you see the photographs I just look very happy.

"A little girl near where I live came up to me and said 'we've got your book in out school'. And then everyone was stopping me in the street!

"Gradually you get back to normal, but it gave me a very nice feeling of self respect."
