The medics and police state that Lisa has survived against the odds, Lisa is passionate to show that people who have survived trauma can live normal lives. She believes that it is through reading books like A Fine Line and other true experiences, that people can gain insight which may lead to better understanding and support. This has been endorsed by leading professionals in the medical world.

Lisa is also passionate that care for the mental health in the future is regulated and that the people who have power do not take unjust advantage at any opportunity.

A Fine line A Balance to Survive was praised by many professional medical bodies and leading medical individuals, and was No 1 in many categories on Amazon in the ebooks rankings for over a year. It was also recommended as a reading book for staff who worked in the Leicestershire mental health teams.Despite the numerous letters of thanks and acknowledgments from survivors and professionals that deal with mental health, such as child abuse solicitors, prison officers, and relatives of survivors, the book never received a lot of recognition form the public media. Lisa is sure that this is to do with the time it was published (2010) and the stigma that surrounded mental health.

Lisa would like to thank everyone who has read her books and hopes that other survivors will share their accounts so that the more awareness about child abuse will introduce better management and also allows other survivors to be able to relate to some of the experiences. This also introduces insight for the professionals who manage child abuse cases. In the future Lisa hopes that the stigma surrounding mental health will decrease as people start to learn more and gain valuable insight that will help others have a brighter future.
