START published by Fledgling Press is a love story, a celebration of the Highlands and an account of compulsory treatment in hospital and the community for schizophrenia. Graham’s memoir looks at isolation, loss, the wonder of relationships starting and the sadness of those that go wrong. We start in a playground where Graham is contemplating a life of isolation and end up with Graham addressing the United Nations Committee against Torture and moving to live with his partner Wendy in Argyll. Do read an, at times, painful story and at some points, a funny one.
