Product Description

by Alyssa Sherlock (Author), Amelia Warkentin (Contribution by), Erin Toews (Contribution by)

This is a love story you haven't read before, a raw and vulnerable story of finding hope, love, and friendship through struggles with mental illness.


Alyssa Sherlock was a sensitive, anxious child who grew up into a sensitive, anxious adult. In this collection of poetry and essays, Sherlock lays out the reality of becoming her own person while experiencing anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and the illness of loved ones, before exploring how complex friendships can be the support that is needed for recovery.


This book is for anyone who struggles with their own mental health or the mental illnesses of others, to remind them they are not alone, and that there is love and belonging to be found in the most unexpected places. Written in collaboration with friends Erin Toews and Amelia Warkentin, and including illustrations by Amber Wallin, this honest autobiographical collection is perfect for fans of dodie's Secrets for the Mad.
