Northern Irish-born, Kiwi by choice, Nic writes about cancer, the death of her three-year-old daughter Kenzie, Parkinson’s and a heart transplant.

The story behind Kenzie’s Gift, the charity she founded to support children and young people when a parent or sibling has died or is seriously ill.

A no-nonsense and, at times, darkly funny memoir of survival, swearing and starting again when life refuses to play fair.
