It is a privilege to know her - Jordan Henderson Quite Remarkable -
David Dein Her tenacity and courage is astonishing - Prof Phil
Scraton Utterly gripping - Jimmy McGovern Her strength is inspiring
- Simon Rimmer ----- On the morning of Saturday 15 April 1989,
Jenni Hicks, her husband, and their two teenage daughters, Sarah
and Vicki, went to watch a football match. That was to be their
last day as a family. Sarah and Vicki didn't come home, and Jenni's
world was changed forever. Since that fateful day, Jenni has
tirelessly campaigned for justice for her own and others' families.
But this is not the story of the Hillsborough tragedy. This is a
story of what came before and after that day: of a mother's love,
her unimaginable bravery, a flame of hope that never died, and a
quest for justice that has lasted three decades. It is a journey
that has taken her from Allerton Cemetery to the Courts of Appeal,
from the depths of despair to meetings with Prime Ministers and
royalty. With the final court cases coming to a conclusion in
spring 2021, Jenni's role as the longest-serving committee member
of the Hillsborough Family Support Group is coming to an end - and
she can finally give herself permission to grieve solely as a
mother, rather than as a campaigner. One Day In April is the first
time that Jenni has spoken about her story in full, and is a unique
and poignant tribute to the lives that Sarah and Vicki lost, and
the final word from the extraordinary mother they left behind.
