One in Four
Copied from elsewhere (i.e. I can't take credit for the words):
"Caroline Smailes has done a thing of such fabulousness I can scarcely find the necessary superlatives. First, she's written a book - a wee book, a novella - called Disraeli Avenue. That is the street where the central characters lived in her debut novel, In Search Of Adam. The novella is made up of 32 flashes from the houses in that street. 'Tales of debt, infidelity, love and loss all combine and weave into a mosaic of working class life,' says Caroline.
And second, she has persuaded her publisher, her typesetter and her cover designer to give their services free, so that the book can be published as an e-book for free download to raise money for charity. The charity she has chosen is One In Four, which is run by and for people who have experienced sexual abuse. People will be given the opportunity to make a donation in return for the book.
Caroline announced the project on Wednesday here.
One in Four's website is here."
