Number One on the Bestseller list

Just heard the great news that Dying to Survive is Number One on the Irish Bestseller list! It's amazing!! Only a few weeks ago I posted that the book was at number two. I didn't think it would climb to the number one spot.

Thanks again to everyone who helped with the book: From the publisher Gill & Macmillan to all of you out there who actually bought the book.

Many thanks xxx

  1. Well done Rachel...I read your book in its entirety this weekend. Your message of hope is outstanding....shame on those ignorant people who openly demonstrate their lack of understanding of addiction on their various comments here and there...may they never be faced with addiction on a personal basis or in their family. I am a recovering alcholic and addict myself, a single mother, working full time and just recently completed a degree in college. I plan on writing a book also, abaout addiction in general...to alcohol, drugs, relationships and life as a product of growing up in the last generation when ireland changed so much...which i had been thinking about long before I knew of your one! (what chance have i of being published now ;-) Yours tells an amazing story...and Your reasons for writing your book have struck me well. Best of luck with college and your little boy. You're right - you can do anything you put your mind to. God bless xx
