Summary of The Boy Between: A Mother and Son’s Journey From a World Gone Grey

Josiah was nineteen with the world at his feet when things changed. Without warning, the new university student’s mental health deteriorated to the point that he planned his own death. His mother, bestselling author Amanda Prowse, found herself grappling for ways to help him, with no clear sense of where that could be found. This is the book they wish had been there for them during those dark times.

Where to get the book?

Whether you prefer digital or physical books, we’ve listed several options below.

Digital Copy

Amazon

If you have a Kindle or like audiobooks, Amazon is probably already your go-to for book purchases. They offer a variety of purchase options.

OverDrive / Libby

Check your local library, they often allow digital rentals through OverDrive and the Libby app! You’ll just need your library card to log in.

Physical Book

Amazon is still a good option to get the paperback, but if the delivery date is too far out, you may need to look for other options. Please try to support your local bookstore or library. If that’s not an option, more book-focused online stores like BAM! or Barnes & Noble can probably deliver.

Reading Schedule

We’ve decided to split the book in half and hold two discussions. Discussions take place right here on the blog! Feel free to read at your own pace, but please avoid posting spoilers if you read ahead. Also, if you’re behind schedule and concerned about spoilers, you may want to wait until you’re caught up to join the discussion.
