A WREXHAM-based mother with breast cancer has won a recognition award for her novel dedicated to her daughter.
Hollie McFarlane, 43, was diagnosed with breast cancer in October last year.
While going through treatment for breast cancer, Hollie, from Gwersyllt, started writing a book for her daughter, Sydney, in an attempt to explain to her what was happening.
Sydney was only three when her mother was diagnosed.
Hollie's book 'Sometimes, Mummy feels..." was nominated and then shortlisted for an award at the Butterfly Breast Cancer Awards in the Innovation Category.
The event took place on Friday September, 22, at the stunning Vale Royal Abbey Whitegate, Cheshire, where Holly won a recognition award for her work in raising awareness through her book.

Hollie previously said: "The book has been a great success and I'm so happy that it's helping other families in difficult situations."
She has since completed a sequal titled 'Sometimes, Daddy feels...' which will be published mid-October.
The book has also been adopted by many schools and chariteis, including Macmillian, and is available to buy on Amazon.
