From Posso to the Palace

An old-fashioned story of rags to riches. In this book, Achia, born in Possilpark Glasgow, gives a true reflection of growing up in an impoverished housing estate during the seventies and eighties, detailing the hilarity that followed, despite what others would think of as a miserable upbringing. The impact resulting from this for most, is what shapes our future which is evident from Achia's story. It's a true statement that where you are born makes you who you are but doesn't define you. Achia gives a raw, emotional, funny, heart-breaking account of being brought up in poverty and all the tales that occurred as she moves from poverty to the palaces of the Middle East. Achia doesn't shy away from the reality of her life and experiences including relationships, parenting, poverty, humour, and most of all, the mistakes she makes. This book will make you howl with laughter and in tears the next. Hold on, you are in for a bumpy ride
