Whilst in a therapy session, Charlotte was asked by her therapist to try one thing she has always wanted to do. As a result, she wrote a story. She showed the story to her daughter who, encouraged her to write more. The story developed into several chapters, and eventually became the first in the Dr Turner series, 'A Scar's Pathway'.
