Deborah Turner 

Deborah’s first book is ESKIMO LOVE SONG, an extraordinarily moving and powerful memoir which tells the story of how she put her life ‘on hold’ to care for her boyfriend when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.  Serious illness is distressing at any time of life, but this happened when her boyfriend was only in his mid-20s (Deborah is ten years older).  The account has extraordinary narrative drive and the level of emotional analysis combined with elements of spirituality make for a compelling read.  The involvement of Madonna and Guy Ritchie (a friend of her boyfriend) adds an unexpected element.  It's a truly remarkable book by an amazingly resourceful woman.  Tragic but ultimately uplifting.
