I was skeptical at first, but by chapter three I could not put it down. I will be looking for the author's other work.

Book synopsis
In this unflinchingly honest memoir, prolific author David A. Robertson confronts the 'little monsters' of mental illness that have shadowed his successful career. By detailing a harrowing panic attack at a writers’ festival and his ongoing struggle with generalized anxiety and health OCD, Robertson pulls back the curtain on the reality of living with invisible disorders. The book serves as a powerful testament to the fact that while these monsters may lie, they do not have to define one’s ending. It is a brave exploration of finding strength in vulnerability and the vital importance of community and family support.

Bought it on a whim, no regrets

For a dollar this was a steal. Already added two more to my cart.

Cover to cover in one sitting on a rainy afternoon. Worth far more than what I paid.
