Oldham author Judith releases her second book

Judith Cook has now released her second book, 'The Gift of Human Kindness'

Oldham-born and raised author Judith Cook has written and released her second book.

Judith, who previously had 'My Doors of Destiny' published, has now released 'The Gift of Human Kindness', a book all about kindness and 'how it has saved her life'.

Judith, a singer and performer who now lives in Carlisle in Cumbria, penned ‘The Gift of Human Kindness’ in response to the kindness she has received throughout her life, and particularly recently after a bout with suicidal ideation.

Judith’s book contains self-written poems and short stories, as well as illustrations to accompany it, all about what kindness means to different people and how it changes people’s lives.

She said she came to the realisation of the power and healing aspect of kindness after a comforting call with her doctor while considering suicide, something which was brought on severely during her menopause, which she discussed in the autobiographical 'My Doors of Destiny'.

The book, Judith said, would not have been written had it not been for the kindness she has received from people all around her, and the people that have contributed to the book itself, and that this publication is also an ode to them as much as it is to kindness itself.

Judith's latest book is now available to buy online, priced at £12.99.
