About The Book:
In this memoir, Paul Wardle traces a life shaped by hardship, hope, and unlikely friendship.

Born and raised in Bulwell, Nottingham, Paul's early years were marked by joy, humour, and the working-class warmth of 1970s England, but hidden trauma cast a long shadow over his youth. From summer holidays on the East Coast and magical Christmas mornings to a childhood disrupted by violence, loss, and family fracture, Paul's story captures both the tenderness and turbulence that shaped him.

Decades later, during the isolation of the 2020 pandemic, a chance appearance on a global photography project, Time to Pause, created by acclaimed portrait photographer Alistair Morrison, sparked an unexpected friendship that would change Paul's life forever. Through weekly Zoom calls, raw conversations, and a shared search for meaning in a disconnected world, Paul found a new voice and the courage to confront the past he had carried alone for so long.
