Trapped Life

Take a step into the heart of inner-city life with Trapped Life by Ebony Reid, a powerful narrative that transcends sensationalist headlines to reveal the authentic lives of the mandem on the Northville Estate in London. The book aims to dismantle stereotypes, offering a raw and intimate look at a vibrant and tight-knit community so often misunderstood. Through raw, candid personal and professional insights, Reid captures the struggles, dreams, and resilience of those navigating Trap Life amid socio-economic disparities that keep many of the occupants of Northville in a cycle of crime and poverty. Trapped Life invites readers to recognise the shared humanity that connects us all, celebrating the spirit and hope that persist despite systemic inequities.
