Trust us, you’re not going to want to put this gripping read down! The Burn Journals is both tragic and inspirational.
Now a writer and radio producer, Brent chronicles his suicide attempt and year of recovery in this intimate memoir. His tale is raw, emotional and honest… he has spared no details in the hope that his story will resonate with those touched by depression.
Rarely stated but always lurking below the surface is the question of why Brent set himself on fire, because he doesn’t know himself. It’s a fascinating journey through a teenager’s mind. All it took was a second, a strike of a match, and the realisation that he wanted to live.
