All the Times You Were Not There is a story about growing up in an East End family in 1980s London. It delves into elite sport and illegal raves, drug addiction, steroid abuse, and how everything you thought you ever wanted can end up nearly killing you. The story is about Essex, XR3is, and having a world champion powerlifter for a dad. It's a narrative about finding faith and discovering yourself when everything around you is falling apart.

All the Times You Were Not There is a powerful memoir about a girl who thought nothing could ever go wrong. It touches on ordinary family life, elite sport, and how aspirations can become detrimental. Growing up under the shadow of an unforeseen drug addiction, the memoir explores finding faith and holding on to hope, showing that good can emerge from the most painful circumstances.
