Maggie will also release a new book in the future, this time for children, showing them the history of growing up on the estate in Johnson Fold, like an Enid Blyton-style novel.

Invisible Scars a book by MAGGIE GALLAGHER.

It states: "What happened within our family should never have happened. It shattered our lives like glass.I wish I wouldn't have had to write this story, well the book wouldn't have been published without it but I wish the past hadn't have happened." As a young teen I spent each waking hour being creative in any way I could. I had big dreams of becoming a writer, or a reporter, or maybe even a singer or an actress. Dreaming took me into another world. A world full of joy, that I wanted to live in forever. The book took Maggie 17 years to write and follows the first 30 years of her life growing up in Johnson Fold. The book is about the first 30 years of my life which I wasn't in control of at that time, there were outside obstacles that I had to try and overcome.

With no-one to talk to throughout the trauma, I became isolated. Segregated. My family became strangers unaware of the inner torment I was facing. As I grew and became a mother, those earlier dreams were hidden away and I devoted my life and all my pride in raising my children. They grew and had families of their own, and the empty nest syndrome was and still is too hard to bear. The book was published two weeks ago and people are buying it I believe, I didn't have much confidence because I know it was trauma to me but I didn't think anybody else would be interested in it but it's been well recieved.I just hope I've given Johnson Fold the justice because it's getting a bad reputation at the minute but it's just absolutely lovely. All the details are in the book and I don't want to give too much away but I wrote quite a lot about the Johnson Fold estate where we were growing up.
