{"product_id":"dark-days-andrew-aldred-9781783820764","title":"Dark Days","description":"I have been in Mental Health Services since 1985, when I had a huge mental breakdown after serving in the Falklands with the army. Since then my life has been something of a rollercoaster of mental illness until meeting my wife Jane seven years ago. I have been in and out of hospital from 1985 until 2009. I had an illness which I attributed to my father and resulted in me stabbing him in 1997 and going to the Edenfield Unit in Prestwich Hospital for 6 years. This is when I started to write poetry to keep myself sane and give me something to focus on. This book is a description of an ex-soldier's opinion of the army, prison, secure mental hospital, the home office and other aspects of life in his recovery journey from committing a crime of wounding with intent. It is not intended as a rant against a system he found very unsympathetic, but in its own way this is what it is because it could not be anything else.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Aldred\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783820764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783820764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chipmunka Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Andrew Aldred","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445701751039,"sku":"9781783820764","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f00faa07-b82e-4ea8-8d23-56f2e7ef97b3.jpg?v=1777220119","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dark-days-andrew-aldred-9781783820764","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
