'I can tell you exactly the day it all went wrong - the day my mum
attacked my dad with a kitchen knife. In those few, short seconds,
a black hole opened up in my life and I fell right in.' Tina
McGuff's life was perfect - or so she thought. Living in Dundee
with her devoted parents and three younger sisters, she was a
happy, healthy and confident thirteen-year-old. But all that
changed in one horrifying act of revenge and Tina's world collapsed
overnight. Terrified, lost and confused, she turned to the one
thing she thought she could control - food. And so began the
biggest fight of her life. Tina's life-or-death struggle with
anorexia is told with devastating honesty in this extraordinary
account of a girl at war with herself. Through her years in and out
of psychiatric wards, Tina takes us to some of the darkest places
of the mind. But in the end her courage, conviction and sheer
determination win out. It took Tina seconds to snap and a lifetime
to recover - but today, as a passionate campaigner for mental
health, she is living proof that there is always a reason to hope
that one day, things will get better.
