Mary Portas revolutionised the art of window dressing during her time at Harvey Nichols when, still in her 20's, she rose beyond the all male leadership team to bring the brand into the 21st Century and grab headlines for their displays. In her new memoir "I Shop, Therefore I Am" she lets us see through the shop window to reveal the untold stories behind the success.
Dr Grace Spence Green had been dreaming about becoming a paediatrician ever since she was seven years-old. But after a freak incident at a shopping centre she thought that future had been lost. Her breath-taking story is inspirational.
Adam Lind walked from Birmingham to London to prove that the kindness of strangers still exists. His interest in community living and searching for happiness came from a trip to India and is continued on the 2,000 miles of the UK waterways on his canal boat.
All that plus a thank you to the French family who found a missing niece, a the revved up reverend pushing his pedal to the metal in Belgium, and the Inheritance Tracks of Joanna Page.
