Book ID/图书代码： 08430007B14713

English Summary/英文概要： ’A few seconds ago I wanted to die. Now I know the reality is I just don’t want to live. I never have from the monent I started falling, twenty-one-and-a-half years ago. I’m alive. Shit.’
Jeff Randall originally wrote his memoir by hand, the ink spattering on the page whenever he was writing about something painful and looping beautifully whenever he was recalling happier moments. He wrote it in a matter of weeks and delivered it to his estranged wife in an attempt to explain the demons that had haunted him for so long and that had been responsible for destroying their relationship.
Falling is the powerful true story of a boy whose tormented childhood was characterised by violence and neglect. From a young age, he yearned to escape but was sucked into an ever-decreasing spiral of bad choices.
This brutally honest book charts the life of a boy who just wanted to be loved but when love eventually came he was too damaged to recognise it. Only by confronting the nightmare of his childhood and coming to terms with his past has he been able to stop his downward spiral.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 「不久前我才想著要了結自己的性命，現在我明白早在21年前，我就已經不想活了，而混帳的是我到現在還活著。」Jeff Randall的這一段話是寫給他分居的妻子，他試著解釋破壞他們夫妻感情的真正原因是他小時候的家庭暴力和家人的忽視冷漠，他想要逃離可是並沒有選擇的餘地。
