I am the mother of the authour. This book is very touching and powerful brought a tear to my eyes. I didn't realise all that she went through. Brilliant for carers who want to understand. I maybe biased but the book is a wonderful expression of mental ill health

This book dose exactly what the author indented it to do, it really gives you a feel of what she went through. The realization it gives you is a real eye opener, a grate read if you want to really understand what some one goes through that suffered with mental illness.
