James & Elle: Part-memoir, part-fiction

By Casey Rae

Part-memoir, part-fiction, James & Elle is a delicate mosaic of vignettes reflecting a deeply personal perspective and the complications of having-and supporting-a loved one with PTSD.

Two siblings are unravelling their past and uncovering hidden memories. But what happens if the past hides a demon in the cupboard?

Follow James and Elle as they remember dark pieces of their childhood, and fumble their way through adulthood, searching for a place to belong. As a lost and disillusioned young adult, James joins the Australian Army. A tragic accident occurs while he is serving in Afghanistan and he returns to the mainland as a mere shadow of himself. James' sister, Elle, tries to support him through the crippling PTSD and spiralling addictions.

Prepare yourself to experience a powerful insight into the impact PTSD has on the characters and their relationships. James and Elle is a deep dive into the dynamics of familial love, responsibility, and the challenges of supporting a family member in crisis. This compelling narrative will evoke empathy and understanding.
