Mary MacPhee shares poems in an autobiographical fashion of her struggles through the teenage years battling through alcoholism, becoming a single mother, escaping narcissistic and emotional abuse. Within the book she raises awareness on a wide range of topics through her poems. Mary highlights her parenting struggles navigating undiagnosed neurodiversity, transgender, psychological illness, school bullying, suicidal ideation, self harm and the impact the stigma can bring into our lives. Living and growing up in a remote part of Scotland, Mary also shares how such difficulties are magnified more with the lack of services and resources to help and provide early intervention to our children.
