This is a hard-hitting, semi-autobiographical book about a woman looking back at her life thus far. It details some of the most traumatic events in her life – the jagged years – including the death of her mother as a child, abuse, neglect and betrayal growing up, and her decline into major depression. Jagged on the Inside recounts her experiences of living with depression and explores its possible origins, but at its heart celebrates hope, love and finding joy in being alive.
