You Matter: The Human Solution, by Delia Smith

You Matter: The Human Solution

by Delia Smith

This year sees the arrival of a new book written by Delia, but with a very different subject. 

Here she ponders on the presence of the human spirit, something we have all been more aware of particularly over the past two years. This is not a book about religion, it's about human nature, and how when we take time to really reflect, we realise we all matter, we are all unique and we all play an important part and have our own responsibility in the universe.

Published by Mensch Publishing on 3rd March 2022, You Matter is available in paperback, hardback, ebook and audio book.
