Description
A childhood memoir that explores identity and mental health, this book tells the story of Jonathan Joly's extraordinary experiences growing up in conservative Dublin. As a child, he felt like an outsider, forced to hide his true self from those around him. To cope, he created a world of invisible friends who provided comfort and support. This harrowing and uplifting memoir reveals the secret Jonathan kept hidden for years. It is a powerful exploration of the importance of providing children with safe spaces to be themselves, and the devastating consequences of not doing so. With courage and vulnerability, Jonathan shares his story, offering hope and community to those who have ever felt like they don't fit in. Through his experiences, Jonathan shows how the inner world we create can be a lifeline in times of need. This is a thought-provoking and exhilarating read that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like they are living a life that isn't truly their own.
