Description

You Are Not Alone, written by Suffolk primary school teacher Rob Parker, raises awareness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among military veterans and their families.   

The book is a powerful, multi-perspective narrative that highlights the hidden battles veterans and their families face after returning from war.

At its heart is Jack — a soldier, devoted husband, and loving father — whose transition home marks the beginning of a deeper, more personal war: the war within.

Told through the intimate voices of Jack, his wife, and their children, the story explores the adjustment to home life after service, the silence that settles into homes, and the journey of healing through real-life organisations like Combat2Coffee, Mind, and Samaritans.

But more than that, You Are Not Alone is a beacon of hope. It’s here to say that healing is possible, that speaking out is strength, and that every single person affected by mental health issues deserves to know they are not alone.

Donations from book profits to be reinvested into Combat2Coffee, while charities Scotty’s Little Soldiers and The Not Forgotten, supporting bereaved children and socially isolated veterans, will also benefit.
