Bestselling novelist Amanda Prowse knew how to resolve a fictional family crisis. But then her son came to her with a real one.
Josiah was 19 with the world at his feet when things changed. Without warning, the new university student's mental health deteriorated to the point that he planned his own death. His mother, bestselling author Amanda Prowse, found herself grappling for ways to help him, with no clear sense of where that could be found. This is the audiobook they wish had been there for them during those dark times.
Josiah's situation is not unusual: the statistics on student mental health are terrifying. And he was not the only one suffering; his family was also hijacked by his illness, watching him struggle and fearing the day he might succeed in taking his life.
In this audiobook, Josiah and Amanda hope to give a voice to those who suffer, and to show them that help can be found. It is Josiah's raw, at times bleak, sometimes humorous, but always honest account of what it is like to live with depression. It is Amanda's heart-rending account of her pain at watching him suffer, speaking from the heart about a mother's love for her child.
For anyone with depression and anyone who loves someone with depression, Amanda and Josiah have a clear message: you are not alone – and there is hope.
'I truly believe this book will help so many individuals struggling with their mental health as well as help their families … A candid, moving and inspirational book, I am blown away.'
Johnny Benjamin, bestselling author of The Stranger on the Bridge
