I wasn’t sure where to post this thread, but hope this board is appropriate.
As many of you might know, PharmaT has been spending some time away from rootschat.
Despite going through a stressful few years whilst continuing to work and care for her girls, she has also been very busy with various ongoing projects, and has now had a book of her poetry published. What an achievement.
The book is available (for preordering) through Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Finding-Voice-Shona-Campbell/dp/9357440852/ref=sr_1_18?crid=1SM4EBDYVFCAO&keywords=shona+campbell&qid=1690291166&sprefix=shona+campbelll%2Caps%2C81&sr=8-18
Please spread the word, especially to any relevant help type groups you may know of. I’m sure PharmaT would appreciate any support (and sales). This book will also be of particular interest to any Scots speakers.

What an achievement for PharmaT especially as life has been so tough for her and her girls.
I have put the book on order and look forward to reading it.
Give her my love and hugs.

I was only thinking about Pharma the other day and wondering if she is alright.
Pharma has been through some tough times, but has kept going. She is obviously stronger than she thinks.
It must be hard work producing a book, let alone one on poetry!!
Well done Pharma T, you deserve the success.

Lovely words LM, Dorrie and BillyF. I sent Pharma a link to this thread so she will be able to read these posts.
I think Pharma is stronger, braver and more courageous than any of us realised.

I’m so pleased to hear that PT has had a book published… especially a poetry one, a more difficult medium for sure.
Thank you Ruskie for drawing our attention to it and please pass on my good wishes to her and I wish her every success, she certainly deserves it, an inspiration to us all.
It’s on my list for pre ordering from Amazon.

I am hoping PT does read these remarks might give her a boost.

No one is ever in exactly the same situation as another.
There are too many variants ,it therefore is kindest to be sympathetic and supportive .
It costs nothing to be so.
We would be pleased to get support were we in a like situation.
Some are stronger than others, we are all different.
Pharma has produced a work of some merit despite great problems snd an exacting job ,a family to care for and a home to manage.
“Well done “seems a bit inadequate , but it is sincerely meant .
I look forward to getting a copy.
Hold your head up high Pharma.
Viktoria.

I think Pharma is stronger, braver and more courageous than any of us realised.
And also stronger, braver and more courageous than perhaps she herself realised.
PharmaT, it takes enormous strength to just keep putting one foot in front of the other at times, so I take my hat off to you for achieving so much more.

Not just "Well done", but quite brilliant to have managed all that.
I know we all have a lot of respect for her and her girls, and I do hope they are basking in her reflected glory! We're ALL proud of her, I'm sure.
I look forward to reading it, 'tho I'm not good with poetry.
Please make sure she gets all our good wishes and congratulations.
TY
