Let It Go

Dame Stephanie Shirley has spent much of her life giving time and money to causes that matter to her personally. Her memoir follows her story from childhood in Germany to her arrival in England as a Kindertransport refugee travelling without a parent. It continues through the years she built Freelance Programmers, a company that brought great joy but also brought hard moments, and on to the loss of her only child. The book closes with her later years, when she turned to charity work. It is illustrated with photographs from her own collection.
