Twelve-year-old Heidi Smith stumbled into the darkness to witness a violent crime that changed the trajectory of her life. Her adult storytelling invites you into the darkest corners of her soul to witness her subsequent experiences with anxiety, addiction and sexual predators, then with humour and love she guides you out of the pain and mayhem of her past into the safety and joy of the present.
Bold examples of introspection and self-discovery detailing Smith’s transformations from self-loathing and self-destruction into self-acceptance and joy pave the way for others to follow. Whether you are someone who delights in the adventures of everyday heroes, or someone who feels misunderstood in relationships or someone who struggles with a painful past, this book is full of examples showing how to make the big changes you’ve been craving. One woman’s journey towards making friends with the Boogeyman can transform your life.
