When You Walk Through The Storm is the moving story of Anne Williams, whose son Kevin died at the Hillsborough disaster in 1989. It is a remarkable personal account of a mother's determination to discover the true circumstances of her son's death on that tragic afternoon. She vividly relates the grief she felt when she realised Kevin wasn't coming home, followed by the anger she experienced on discovering that he could have been saved. In the aftermath of the tragedy, controversy raged over who had been responsible for the events, and in When You Walk Through the Storm Anne Williams describes her feelings towards those who, she felt, had blood on their hands. Finally, she became embroiled in a bitter fight for justice for her son. Kevin was one of the 96 football fans who died following events at Hillsborough on 15 April 1989, and his story is at the very heart of one of modern society's most heartbreaking tragedies. 'I cannot forgive those who obscured the truth about Kevin,' says Anne Williams today. 'Hiding the real facts from his close family and those who loved him deprives us all of the chance to mourn him properly.'
