A mother’s powerful memoir of her son’s illness, love, loss and learning how to say goodbye.
Silas is ten years old when the headaches start. When the diagnosis arrives, his parents are told they have until Christmas… maybe. And so begins Sarah Pullen’s battle to save her son, against doubting doctors and insurmountable odds. This story about love and loss traces her family’s journey from that first day at the hospital, battling a tumour they named ‘Bob’, through Silas’s death and beyond.
This profoundly moving and honest account shows that it is possible to find the strength for a journey that no mother should ever go on; that it is possible to find a new way to live, even when death is knocking on the door. It is about confronting grief – raw, ugly, incomprehensible grief. It is a book about wrapping a small boy in love, but still letting him get grubby knees. It is about learning to savour every moment of the here and now, yet also learning to let go.
At its heart, A Mighty Boy is a story of the love between a mother and a son. It is a book about seizing the moment and somehow managing to survive the death of a child. But most of all it is a book about a small, mighty, smiling boy.

Sarah Pullen is a full time, often harassed, mother of a bundle of boys who lives on the top of the windy North Downs in Kent. As a child she had books constantly confiscated for reading in lessons, despite this, or probably because of this, she got a first class degree from Bristol University. She spent some time working as a features writer for a national newspaper but struggled to pay the rent and left to work in the City. She then disappeared into the countryside to raise her family, as well as the odd chicken or two. A Mighty Boy is a book she wishes she hadn’t had to write but felt compelled to. It is her first book.
