My first book, ‘The Adult Orphan Club,’ is about grief, loss, and the loneliness of becoming an adult orphan.
It’s the book I wish I’d had when my parents died – part memoir and part guide, with tons of practical tips to help make the grief process a little easier.
You can read more about the book here, and read the original article which inspired the book too.
The official book blurb is as follows:
Flora Baker was only twenty when her mum died suddenly of cancer. Her coping strategy was simple: ignore the magnitude of her loss. But when her dad became terminally ill nine years later, Flora was forced to confront the reality of grief. She had to accept that her life had changed forever.
In The Adult Orphan Club, Flora draws on a decade of experience with grief and parent loss to explore all the chaotic ways that grief affects us, and how we can learn to navigate it. Written with the newly bereaved in mind and packed with practical tips and advice, this book guides the reader through every step of their grief journey and opens up the death conversation in an honest, heartfelt and accessible way.
Whether you’re grieving your own loss or supporting someone else through grief, The Adult Orphan Club will show you that you’re not broken, and you’re not alone.
