The inspiring and universal true story of the transformative power of a mother's love.

On Mother's Day, 2002, Glennon Melton was unmarried, addicted to drugs, booze, food and bad love. Never comfortable with reality, her criminal record had grown steadily more muddied in her desperate quest for escapism. But by a strange twist of fate, it was on this day that she discovered she was pregnant. After twenty years of wilful self-destruction, how could Glennon rise to the challenge of looking after the helpless, innocent child growing within her, when she couldn't even look after herself?

Carry On, Warrior is the remarkable and inspiring story of a mother who, for the love of her child, was determined to change her life forever. This is a true woman's book, which touches on the universal themes of friendship, marriage and family in a way that is unique and enlightening.
