It is the early 1980s and the Daniels face bankruptcy. They can't sell their house because of the recession and they need to get money from somewhere so they decide to have an auction to sell as many of their possessions as possible. Overnight this pair of forty-something innocents find themselves tipped into the weird, wonderful and occasionally wicked world of auctioneering. Their subsequent adventures, travelling the length and breadth of Northern Ireland collecting other people's possessions to sell, learning about antiques and coping with the myriad characters who people the auction business, fill the pages with laughter, colour, quirkiness and, sometimes, downright chicanery. Based on her own personal experiences, 'Days of Wine and Wardrobes', the debut novel from Felicity Graham, will make you smile and believe anything is possible if you want it badly enough.

The long and hard, but meaningful, journey of writing Not Held Down started because Felicity Graham wanted to share her experience in the foster care system. 
This is her story. 
"Every knock that the system threw at me I thought would break me; I didn't think I would survive. I found the strength to make it through. I realised that I did not ever want someone going through the pain I had gone through. I didn't want any kid to ever blame themselves for something that they had no control over. 
I had seen friends and family changed by the system because it was easier to let it break them than to rise above it. I want to advocate for the next generation of foster kids. 
This book was written to help others in care to find their strength and not feel silenced or alone."
