The Unthinkable

‘a devastating portrayal of coercive control as depicted by a son’ * Irish Independent *
‘Unthinkable stares down horror and heartbreak. A story told with unflinching courage and a compelling drive for the truth.’ – Laura Kuenssberg
‘David is one of the most courageous men I know, and I met him when he was campaigning for his mum while she was still in prison. His book is one that everyone should read to understand coercive control, and what it is like to be a child growing up in a house where there is domestic abuse.’ – Melanie Brown OBE, aka Mel B
‘Beautifully written and deeply moving, I found David’s book so compelling I read it in one sitting. It is a powerful call to action as much as a very personal memoir.’ – Samira Ahmed
