An inspirational story of a journey back from the edge.
From a young age, Shane Carthy had an amazing talent for sport. He quickly rose through the ranks of Dublin football, playing on an All Ireland-winning team at the age of eighteen. In the midst of this success, he increasingly suffered from severe bouts of depression, hiding this from his family and all around him. For two long years, as he triumphed on the football field, he suffered through constant mental turmoil. With searing honesty, he tells of his journey through deepest depression, leading him to become hospitalised at nineteen years old, and how he learned to overcome his troubles and to love life again. Honest, powerful and inspirational, Dark Blue by Shane Carthy became a No1 Bestseller.
