Columnist Maggie Lamond Simone's painful journey provides insight for the thousands of others who similarly cut, starve, pick, drink, pluck, purge, and otherwise hurt themselves in private in order to survive in public.

This book is a profoundly heart-breaking, yet inspiring story of a woman's recovery from destructive Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behaviour and the devastation of addiction which she suffered at the same time. It charts her journey to responsible motherhood and professionally success.

Maggie Lamond Simone details her experience of recovery from OCD, which often leads to addictive behaviour at the same time, as a coping mechanism. Her painful journey provides insight for the thousands of others who similarly cut, starve, pick, drink, pluck, purge and otherwise hurt themselves in private in order to survive in public. She, also, explores the issues of substance abuse, anxiety and depression that commonly develop while trying to cope with OCD.

Maggie Simone is an award-winning columnist and author. She has a black belt in Kenpo karate and a master's degree from the Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. She's, also, an obsessive-compulsive with a history of alcoholism, eating disorders, self-harming, depression and attempted suicide.
