Book excerpt: 'Mum ...' This was the last word that 15-year-old Liverpool fan Kevin Williams said as he lay dying, one of the 96 tragic victims of the Hillsborough disasters. Kevin's mum, Anne, was not there to answer his call but she never let her son down. From that fateful day, April 15, 1989, Anne embarked on a remarkable 24-year battle to see justice done. Convinced of a cover up by the powers at be, she left no stone unturned in her quest to reveal the truth. It was a campaign that she fought to her dying day before succumbing to cancer at the age of 62 in April, 2013. Even then, just days before she died, she found the courage to attend the annual Hillsborough memorial service at Anfield. In this book her daughter, Sara, tells the real story of Anne's remarkable journey.
