Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, Gary movingly explained how he wrote the chapter with Dawn to ensure all details were accurate.
“People say things like, ‘You’ve got three other kids’ and people don’t really understand your pain, it makes it more painful,” he said.
“For us it was the chance to help all the other people who are not understood either.
“It just felt like the right thing to do and the right thing to be in this book.”
Bravo Gary!
