The Last Days

Courageous stuff… intense, compelling, raw * The Times *Poetically unpeels the layers of fear and shame built into the psyche of children who are raised as Witnesses. * The Telegraph *Poetically unpeels the layers of fear and shame built into the psyche of children who are raised as Witnesses. * Caught by the River *A coming-of-age story like no other, The Last Days is about finding voice through desire, authentic connection and creative expression. It sings with the strength and bravery it takes to step away from what has defined you, particularly when those you love follow a different truth. A searingly honest memoir. * Lily Dunn *I loved this book. It’s a thing of beauty. Ali Millar pulls you heart first through an extraordinary life, somehow making sense of an experience that should make no sense at all. A sublime talent. * David Whitehouse *
