In March 2022 The Power of Resilience were given 80 books for World Book Night to distribute in Tameside and the surrounding area.
We chose ‘The Boy Between’ by Amanda Prowse and Josiah Hartley.
This was a story of a Mum and her Son’s experience of depression and mental health issues.
It detailed the difficulties they face and how they navigate these issues.
It was an emotive account which encouraged local community to spark discussions about mental health issues.
What People Say
After reading the book ‘The Boy Between’ I have spent time considering the effects of mental illness on both the sufferer and those who are close to them.
Ruth
Reading this book has helped me as once more as I step into the shoes of someone in the midst of deep depression.
Julie
I could relate with the son in many ways which felt a bit scary as I have not been in his situation. I could feel the emotions and the way one can just shut down.
