Makin a Mackem
The Journey of Running into my Skin.
Mackems are folk from Sunderland in the North of England and this story of one Mackem explores our shared human need to belong. Drawing on her expertise in genetics and medicine and her own life-long running journey, Dr Julie Carter gives insights into how our human evolution shapes our emotional needs and the extent to which our genes influence our lives.
"This raw, wise, humorous and touching memoir is an inspirational and compelling read for any human being engaged in the often troubling and difficult endeavour of growing into the history of their own life. It is utterly candid, compelling, poetic and staggeringly good."
Maggie Gregson. Professor of Vocational Education. University of Sunderland.
