Synopsis

Patsy Whyte was one of a family of ten traveller children who grew up in a children's home in Aberdeen during the 1950s and 60s. Scarred by years of emotional abuse, prejudice and hatred she left the home at 15 and drifted into a world of violence, prostitution and drugs which almost claimed her life. No Easy Road is a testament to the survival of the human spirit.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Patsy Whyte's debut autobiography, No Easy Road, recalls the earliest years of her life up until the age of 16. It is a true story, and a remarkable and frank account of her struggle to survive. "It's taken me more than 30 years to write about my experiences," she says. "Fortunately, I've been blessed with a great memory. I can still remember people and places and incidents in the clearest of detail, even although so many years have passed." A second book is planned, taking Patsy's story forward through the rest of her teenage years. It promises to be as compelling as her first.
