The author was diagnosed with depression at only 12 years-old and two years later, at the age of 14, was diagnosed with brain tumour. Writing became Kelsie's psychological outlet and continues to function as such to this day.
She said: "I was diagnosed with a brain tumour at 14. This resulted in the loss of my depth perception and peripheral vision. Because I was such a sensitive child, I really surprised myself with how calmly I coped with it in the beginning. I think perhaps it was shock.
"Partially losing my vision was a great obstacle. I had my first set of exams coming up and had to teach myself how to write without being able to see the paper. I was offered a scribe, but I wasn’t very good at accepting help – it felt like admitting there was a problem.
"I couldn’t see
