Bury Me in My Boots by Sally Trench

Among the dossers and down-and-outs on London s streets she put love into action: sitting with a drug addict through agonising days of withdrawal, holding the hand of an alcoholic as he dies destitute and neglected in an urban wasteland, physically restraining a girl bent on suicide, risking her own life to save a tramp from a burning building. Commendation from Cardinal Basil Hume to come
Sally Trench achieved international recognition with the publication in 1968 of BURY ME IN MY BOOTS. She used the proceeds of the book to set up Project Spark, providing education and support for deprived teenagers. The story of this was published as SOMEBODY ELSE'S CHILDREN in 1990. Since then she has made her death-defying trips to Bosnia, stunning journalists and public alike.
