In this episode I speak with Patricia. Born in Zambia, Patricia has qualifications in Social Work and Social Policy and her experience spans working in government and non-government organisations and co-authoring a chapter of a clinical handbook in adolescent medicine. Her experience as a mother of a child with a terminal illness inspired her to write a book, and she’s now working on a follow up novel.
