Conversations about writing, family, memory and the stories we leave behind.
Maureen Howley brings together a lifetime of experience in nursing, midwifery, public health, radio, musical theatre and writing.
Since the publication of Small Shoes, Impossible to Fill, Maureen’s story provides a starting point for conversations about subjects that affect many families: caring for ageing parents, preserving family memories, discovering the lives our parents lived before us, resilience, retirement and finding the confidence to begin something new later in life.
