Possibilities. Those chances in life everyone thinks about, the "what if?" moments, the "what could have been?". And when life gives you a second chance, an opportunity at a redo, the question becomes, should you take it?

I never knew there would be a time in my life where I went to bed every single night praying that my mother would just die. For three years, my mother's body was ravaged by ALS. For two of those three years, she lived with me and my family. Being a caregiver to someone you love is not for the faint of heart. The turbulence of emotion, frustration, and exhaustion are all enough to leave you regretting your choice to take care of them. A caregiver is often told they are special and wonderful for taking care of an ailing loved one and that's not a lie-they are. But there is an underside to caregiving, one that is dark, twisted, and full of heartache and failure. It's the side most caregivers won't admit to anyone-including themselves. This is my journey. Our journey. I documented our ups, downs, twists, and turns in the hope that those who find themselves walking in my shoes might also find solace in my words. Remember that your loved one isn't the only person on a journey-it's YOUR journey too. It's the reality. It's the truth. It's good, it's bad, and sometimes, it's really ugly.

This book is a 'cautionary tale' for all women and girls over the age of 16 who may find themselves, quite innocently, on the wrong side of the law. This is the book I wish I'd read before my life was turned upside down and inside out. I had no idea how the British police can treat you as a woman, arresting you before even considering whether you are innocent or guilty. Being brutally made to strip and change clothing in front of four male officers; having my phone and computer taken from me (for five months); being released 17.5 hours later; in the middle of the night with no access to transport.This experience was one of the most horrifying and frightening things that ever happened to me. Followed by being utterly humiliated in the press coverage of the case, published suspiciously mere hours after I'd said 'Not Guilty' in a court room. Not to mention losing my job, accommodation, all my savings and pensions, my good name and reputation. Everything, gone. With this Manifesto, I am trying to ensure that no other woman in the UK ever has to go through this again, but if she does, to help prepare her for what may sadly happen. It is dedicated to providing women with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to navigate the complexities of the British police and court system. I am not a lawyer, but my mission is to empower women to assert their rights, seek justice, and overcome the challenges they may face within the legal system. I believe that every woman deserves a fair and just experience when interacting with law enforcement and the courts, and I am committed to facilitating this through information and guidance.
