Under a Pink Sky -- Esther Ghey, Hardcover

A MOTHER'S TRUE STORY OF LOVE, LOSS, THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS & THE FIGHT TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURES IN THE DIGITAL AGE.

On 11 February 2023, 16-year-old Brianna Ghey left home to meet her friend in a park local to her home in Warrington, Cheshire. Her mother, Esther, was relieved to see her go - a positive step after a difficult and increasingly isolated few years. What Esther didn't know that day was that Brianna was being lured to the park where she would be tragically murdered.

There was at once an international outpouring of anguish and outrage for a young life brutally snatched away and a mother's worst nightmare come true. Amidst global displays of support, the usually shy and private Esther began to reflect on how she could channel her own personal grief into campaigning to help others and to create a lasting legacy for her child.
