Shortlisted: Yeovil Literary Prize 2022 ‘Pain Has Holy Beauty’

There are numerous landmarks I recall from Liverpool, where I grew up. Particularly memorable was a 1960s sculpture - ‘The Resurrection of Christ’ - by sculptor Arthur Dooley, projecting from the wall of a Toxteth church. I was inspired to write the story of a teenage girl, phoning her boyfriend, and arranging to meet beneath it.
