And The Little One Said

With a foreword by acclaimed, award-winning British TV writer Tony Jordan, Liz Coffey''s story is funny, shocking, tragic and heart-rending.Elizabeth Coffey once had seven brothers and sisters, but today only she and one brother are left. Thanks to ''an insane series of cruel blows'' variously involving illness, accidents, mental health mismanagement and suicide, not one of herother siblings made it past their sixties. And yet through it all, the love, life and laughter have shone through - sometimes, it has seemed, from beyond the grave. This is Elizabeth''s funny, shocking, tragic, heart-rending story."It struck me, at an early age, being the ''little one'' of the family, that there was a high probability my dearly loved brothers and sisters were going to die before me. I didn''t expect it to happen quite so soon, and quite so tragically."
''And The Little One Said'' is an incredible emotional roller coaster. I cried, yes, but I also laughed and was moved by the honesty and love. Elizabeth is an incredible writer, I was hooked from the word go and struggled to put the book down. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy ..." Frost Magazine, 31st May 2021
''''Beautiful, sad and uplifting, I cried and laughed ...I found this book a real comfort. ... It''s heart breaking to read how medical mismanagement, mental illness, accidents and illness all seemed to stack up against this one family. It''s beautiful to see how they all come together in different ways and different times to handle it all.... My emotions about my own loss were at points summed up by the experiences of others in the book ... It was nice to know I wasn''t alone. ... I would recommend this book to anyone ... I loved every second and couldn''t put it down."
