Description
Can some crimes ever be forgiven?
Jane has been locked up in a secure psychiatric unit for killing her children. Well-meaning intervention by Dr Townsend forces her to explore the past, and in doing so she begins to dis-cover reality can be unbearable. While attending her sister's funeral, Jane escapes and goes back to the Belgian caravan site where she ended her children's lives. She finally confronts her actions, but when she is brought back to the hospital fully aware of what she has done, she feels certain there's only one way out.
Based on true accounts by staff and inmates, Losing It explores the process and costs of re-demption for those who commit unspeakable acts.

I'm a writer and poet who gained a late MA in Creative Writing at Edge Hill. Trained in psychotherapy, I've worked in Mental
Health and allied fields most of my life, having failed to keep order as a teacher and bored to tears by banking, my first two
career choices. When not at my computer or kitchen sink, I can be found on my allotment or in the local flea market. I live with my first husband and fourth son in an untidy cottage full of paintings, with a well under the floor and a garden that keeps trying to get into the house.
