Welcome to my website! I'm Sandra Russell, an author based in the heart of West Sussex. My journey as a writer began with a personal story that demanded to be told. My debut book, 'Daughter of an Alcoholic', explores the profound impact of growing up in a household affected by addiction. Through my narrative, I aim to shed light on the complexities faced by children in similar situations and provide a voice to those who feel unheard. Writing has been both a cathartic journey for me and a way to connect with others who have faced similar trials.
In 'Daughter of an Alcoholic', I delve deep into the emotional struggles and challenges that accompany such experiences. With a focus on resilience and hope, I recount the journey of a young girl navigating a tumultuous environment. My hope is that readers will find solace in my story, understanding that they are not alone in their struggles. I have dedicated this platform not just to celebrate the release of my book, but to foster a community where we can share experiences and support one another.
My approach to writing is deeply personal and driven by a desire to connect with my readers on a meaningful level. I believe that literature has the power to heal, inspire, and create dialogue around sensitive topics. By sharing my story, I aim to foster understanding and compassion in our community. My work extends beyond mere storytelling; it is about creating a safe space for those who have endured similar struggles. In choosing to engage with my book and this platform, you're supporting a journey of awareness and resilience.
