LEARNING TO HIT THE SHIFT KEY
Learning to Hit the Shift Key: A MemoirBut some storms do not pass cleanly. They settle. They echo. They shape the way a life is lived long after childhood is left behind. In this deeply personal Scottish memoir, Hughes traces the hidden thread between childhood fear, memory, silence, adaptation, and the long, difficult work of understanding what the body has carried for years. Through vivid, reflective storytelling, he explores how early experiences can follow a person into adulthood, shaping love, parenthood, education, identity, and the fragile but persistent search for meaning.
Learning to Hit the Shift Key is not a simple story of trauma, nor a neat account of recovery. It is a memoir of survival, humour, memory, and hard-won insight; a book about the quiet ways people endure, the stories they are forced to carry, and the possibility that healing begins not by erasing the past, but by finally learning how to name it. A powerful, honest, and compassionate account of one life shaped by storms - and by the decision, at last, to stop living only in their shadow.
