A new book offering help on everyday issues and emotions has been released, writes Andy Bloss.

Julie Frost, from Old Coulsdon, has written Light Between the Shadows, a collection of short and thought provoking verses covering many issues people are faced with on a daily basis.

The book covers a range of topics including divorce, addiction, happiness and many others.

Mrs Frost says: "It troubled me to see so many people having to frequently suffer pain and anguish during stressful periods in their life.

"My hope is the verses will allow the readers mind to explore an alternative perspective through troubled times, drawing comfort in knowing they are not alone when facing these issues."

JJ Frost will be signing copies of her book this weekend.

Light Between the Shadows book signing, WHSmith, Whitgift Centre, December 14, 11am to 3pm, go to jjfrost.co.uk for more information.
