Sixteen and full of dreams, Jenny Dobson believes life in the Lancashire town of Overdale is just beginning. But when her father’s accident forces her to abandon school and take work, Jenny is thrust into adulthood before she is ready. Navigating friendship, family tension, and first love, she longs for freedom and excitement—until her relationship with Mitch, a charming older man, turns into a nightmare.
Behind the smiles and promises, Mitch hides a darker world of lies, manipulation, and secret exploitation. When Jenny discovers the shocking truth, she faces the hardest decision of her life: stay silent or risk everything to expose him.
Told with grit, humour, and unflinching honesty, I’m Still Standing is a story of survival, resilience, and the courage to reclaim your life. Jenny’s voice lingers long after the final page—a reminder that strength can be found in the most difficult places.
