What if the psyche has been speaking all along?

In Hiding in Plain Sight, George Francis chronicles a life shaped by early loss, survival, creativity, and the search for wholeness. After the murder of his father during the Northern Irish Troubles and the later death of his mother, ordinary life becomes marked by grief, anxiety, and isolation.

Yet through craft, poetry, painting, and dreams, another story unfolds: the unconscious revealing itself in symbols...miniature worlds, armour, water, bridges, clocks, and recurring images of belonging and rupture.

This is a deeply human memoir of trauma and transformation, written through the lens of Jungian psychology. It is an invitation to reflect on how meaning hides within the everyday, and how individuation can begin even in the aftermath of devastation.
