MAKING IT (PB)

In this book, Jay Blades, presenter of the hit TV show The Repair Shop, shares details of his life as a sheltered child growing up on a council estate in Hackney, to his adolescence when he was introduced to violent racism at secondary school and being brutalized by police as a teen. He reflects on strength, weakness and what it means to be a man. An expert at giving a second life to cherished items, Jay’s positivity, pragmatism, and kindness shine through these pages and show that with care and love, anything can be mended.
