Wild Ground by Emily Usher and narrated by Natalie Gavin is a story of young love, poverty, racism, addiction in a little town in Yorkshire. The story is authentic and written with deepest integrity.
Neef and Danny were both outsiders in their town, finding solace in each other. They dreamed of being together forever, escaping their lives, but life began to weevil its way into their idyllic dreams and result in an outcome that neither could have forseen
The narration of Natalie Gavin is on point, achoing the desolation of the area and the grit, vulnerability and tenacity of the characters
Emily Usher writes with authenticy, it resonates and makes the heart ache. A tale of dreams crushed by the overarching reality of life. Heartbreaking and relatable, a compelling read
