Description
Using diaries written from an early age, Rebecca gives an
evocative portrayal of her childhood in Hertfordshire. She reflects
on her upbringing with her parents and her four siblings and tries
to trace the origins of her mental health problems. She
acknowledges the difficulties in her past such as her father s
heavy drinking and the stresses within the family which pervade
into her grown up self. Many of the memories are happy ones but
there is an underlying insecurity and anxiety which linger into her
adult life.
