The British government kidnapped her child

When the UK family courts removed her nine-year-old son Gabriel with armed police – based on no clinical evidence whatsoever – former physiotherapist Kate Markland was left with one hour a week on FaceTime.

Instead of falling apart, they turned that hour into a co-created fantasy fiction series; "The Adventures of Gabriel" is now three books, reaching children worldwide, and winning press and awards across the world.

This is a story about turning pain into purpose, and refusing to quit when the state resorts to totalitarianism.
