The Beginning and End of Everything: with a foreword by Davina McCall

This powerful memoir follows Sarah Hiscox’s journey from the depths of addiction to rebuilding her life, gaining access to her young sons and remarrying her ex-husband. From rock bottom to lasting joy, it’s a moving testament to hope, resilience and the truth that love can lead us out of darkness.

‘An inspiring must-read for anyone who is searching for hope in darkness of loss, grief or addiction’  Gillian AndersonSarah Hiscox’s deep self-esteem and addiction issues began in childhood when she was given powerful sleeping pills for her nightmares. Then, as a young woman, a toxic relationship with food morphed into a full-blown heroin dependency that neither a loving marriage nor a new baby could halt. After years of cycling through relapse and new starts, Sarah’s relationships were wrecked. In rehab she was confronted with herself and all that she’d lost. But it would take repeated attempts for her to understand even her worst day of abstinence was better than the days she relapsed. Just a few threads of hope remained – a desire to see her children grow, a friend called Davina, a sister and an ex-husband who, despite it all, still loved her. A compelling, wonderfully uplifting true story of the redemptive power of self-acceptance, friendship and love.
