Dorothy Acheampong was born and raised in England, to Ghanaian parents. She grew up mainly in the UK and spent brief spells living in America and Ghana as an adult. Dorothy's love of working with people drew her into the field of Social Work where she has been a qualified practitioner for over 15 years. She has worked within various disciplines of Social Work focusing on Child Protection and Parental Substance Misuse. Dorothy's experience of working closely with people, often in a therapeutic environment, has given her the opportunity to have a deeper insight into relationships acknowledging the interplay between parents and their children, husbands and their wives, social friendships, peer… groups and the like. These have all influenced her opinions and culminated in the formulation of this book. Dorothy lives in England with her family where the idea for this book was formulated. Whilst originally an information booklet advising her daughter about relationships, it expanded into a relationship advice book that cut across the age, race and gender divide. Using her own professional and personal experiences as well as that of close family and friends, Dorothy has been able to emphasise particular points and show the reality of relationships today.
