by Susan Lewis
Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, my sincere thanks go to those who’ve asked to remain nameless, but who so bravely shared their own stories of how they exist on benefits, and how some of them have ended up losing their homes. Their experiences were truly shattering to hear about and I feel on one level that I’ve let them down with this book. There is no one there to make things all right for them, the way there is in these pages; their hardship and nightmares continue with no end in sight. However, this is a work of fiction and as such it can only highlight the misery and injustice many of our fellow citizens suffer at the hands of a system that is supposed to support them. Sadly, it cannot solve it.
No, I’m not forgetting my amazing publishing team at HarperCollins – I never could. Thank you so much to all of you, especially Kimberley Young, Kate Elton and Liz Stein for all the incredible energy and support you’ve put into this book. In steering me away from too much brutal reality I believe you’ve helped me to create a far more readable and hopeful story.
