Birth mothers open new chapter with book with help from former EAC family law barrister

09 December 2024

East Anglian Chambers is delighted to share news that former barrister and member of chambers’ family team Cherie Parnell who is the founder and trustee of the charity BEAM which provides support for parents separated from their children, has been instrumental in the publication of a new book “One Drop Holds The Sun” about the experience of birth mothers in this position. The BBC has covered the story here.

Cherie Parnell said: “Thirteen of our mums found the courage to write their stories and three others helped illustrate the book. They found it cathartic. Beam is a friendly support group where birth mums can share their feelings, find confidence and take part in artistic projects in which they can express themselves. We are so proud of what they have achieved with this lovely book.”
