The synopsis of Overcoming reads:

“When Vicky Phelan delivered an emotionally charged statement from the steps of the Four Courts in April 2018 – having refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement in the settlement of her action against the HSE – she unearthed the medical and political scandal of our time.

“Since then, Vicky has become women’s voice for justice on the issue, and her system-changing activism has made her a household name.

“An inspiring story of rare resilience and power, Overcoming is an account of how one woman can move mountains – even when she is fighting for her own life – and of finding happiness and strength in the toughest of times.”

The book is due out this September.
