It is a story of a mother s love,a daughter s pain and a family s struggle to survive.
When Roxy was 13 years old, she was coerced and blackmailed into sending explicit photos, which were spread around her school. The shame and blame led to a psychotic breakdown, and Roxy started hearing voices and seeing things. This book is a brutally honest true story, written from two perspectives, of consent, coercion, and shattering consequences. It is a story of a mother's love, a daughter's pain, and a family's struggle to survive.
The author, Jamie Theakston, emphasizes the importance of reading this book and talking to one's sons. Claudia Winkleman describes it as an extraordinary and important book that underlines the preciousness of mother-daughter relationships, especially during the teenage years. Gloria Hunniford praises it as a gripping memoir of two battling narratives and a mother-daughter relationship stretched to its absolute limits.
Roxy's story is a powerful reminder of the impact of sexual assault and harassment on young people. It highlights the need for open communication, support, and understanding within families. The book also sheds light on the mental health struggles that can arise as a result of such experiences and the importance of seeking professional help.
Overall, "When You Lose It" is a powerful and important book that will resonate with readers of all ages. It is a testament to the strength and resilience of families, and a call to action for everyone to work towards creating a safer and more supportive environment for young people.
