Alison KerwinBorn in 1977, Alison Kerwin grew up in a small town called Leyland in the North West of England. She spent her formative years living in a three-bed semi with her mum, dad, brother Danny, and sisters Rachael and Claire. Alison infamously won a calcultor in a school competition when she was eight years old and once had five numbers come up in the lottery the week after she'd left the syndicate.

The Counsellor is Alison's first book. Read More Read Less
