But the streets that surrounded her childhood home were not paved with gold; they were rough-hewn by the struggles of poverty that gripped the area.From a young age, Jane knew hardship intimately. Her parents battled their own demons, wrestling with addiction in the form of alcohol and tranquilizers. Yet, amidst the darkness, a more sinister shadow loomed. Jane and her sister Ann endured a harrowing ordeal, suffering at the hands of their maternal uncle, David Percy. His actions cast a long shadow over their formative years, leaving scars that would take years to heal.In 1980, at just 19, Jane exchanged vows with Sean Storrie, diving headfirst into a marriage that would shape her future in unexpected ways. Sean, with his Asperger syndrome, hailed from a family entrenched in Glasgow's underworld. Together, they navigated the tumultuous waters of marriage, eventually welcoming their daughter, Ashley, into the world. But their journey was not without its trials.
