The Weight of Him is about Billy Brennan, 'Big Billy' and his heartwarming story of dealing with weight loss, grief and losing someone you love to suicide.
Billy is nearly 30 stone and has just lost his eldest son to suicide. Struggling to cope with what has happened to him and his family, Billy decides to do something about it. Going against his families wishes he decides to publicly try to raise the awareness of suicide and how important it is that people seek help, while at the same time being sponsored to lose half his body weight to raise money.
I really enjoyed this book. It really shows what amazing things can be done when one person finds the courage to make a change for the better. A truly moving story that touches on the struggle to deal with loss and change. A truly extraordinary book.
Looking forward to reading more from this author.
