  Don't Walk Away: A Husband's Brutal Murder And His Widow's Search For Justice
  Newlove - Hardback - Mainstream
  On 10 August 2007, Helen's husband, Garry was brutally beaten by a gang of youths outside the family home in Warrington. He died two days later. After the ordeal of a ten-week trial and the murder conviction of three youths, Helen held a press conference, giving a speech that attracted national media attention and propelled her into the role of a campaigner for victims' rights and against the lawlessness that blights so many of our towns and cities. In this memoir, Helen recounts how her family was shattered by Garry's murder and of how good unexpectedly came out of evil. Her remarkable story is not one of politics and committees; it is about real people and the impact that crime has on us all.

  - Paperback - Word Power
  Over the past three decades, it is commonly argued, Scotland achieved 'a form of cultural autonomy in the absence of its political equivalent' (Murray Pittock) - a transformation led by its novelists, poets and dramatists. So why, then, is the debate over Scottish independence much less passionate and imaginative? This book sets the question of independence within the more radical horizons which inform the work of 27 writers and activists based in Scotland.
