Story
When Samuel Johnson unicycled around Australia, he met some awesome people. And before we had to lock down, he and his other sister, Hilde, were travelling the country talking at schools, community groups and at the side of busy streets to spread their message about how to kick cancer in the face hole. But in the process they connected and listened as people shared their own stories - not just about how cancer impacted them, but about love, fighting fires, making families out of choice not blood, knitting, being there and being surprised by life and finding solace from strangers.

Story
Anna's always had too many feelings. Or not enough feelings—she's never been quite sure. Debilitating panic. Extraordinary melancholy. Paranoia. Ambivalence. Fear. Despair. From anxious child to terrified parent, mental illness has been a constant. But between therapists' rooms and emergency departments, there's been a feeling even harder to explain … optimism. In this sharp-eyed and illuminating memoir, award-winning writer Anna Spargo-Ryan pieces together the relationships between time, mental illness, and our brain as the keeper of our stories.

Publisher's Summary
An unforgettable story of loneliness, isolation and finding your way. Heart-wrenching, wise and wryly funny, this novel will make you kinder to those who are lost.
Miss Kaye works at The Institute. A place for the damaged, the outliers, the not-quite rights. Everyone has different strategies to deal with the residents. Some bark orders. Some negotiate tirelessly. Miss Kaye found that simply being herself was mostly the right thing to do.
Susie was seven when she realised she'd had her fill of character building. She'd lie between her Holly Hobbie sheets thinking how slowly birthdays come around, but how quickly change happened. One minute her dad was saying that the family needed to move back to the city and then, SHAZAM, they were there. Her mum didn't move to the new house with them. And Susie hated going to see her mum at the mind hospital. She never knew who her mum would be. Or who would be there. As the years passed, there were so many things Susie wanted to say but never could.
Miss Kaye will teach Susie that the loudness of unsaid things can be music - and together they will learn that living can be more than surviving.

Loved it
I had to keep listening! Such a great tale, although I am used to a happy ending and would have liked to hear more about after she retired but Suzie's story was sad, happy and completely relatable - although I haven't been in her situation her feelings were described perfectly and have certainly felt many that she talked about.

Bravo Hilde
Wow!!!! What a debut!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wept and laughed and learned. I want to read it again so I don’t forget the wisdoms of Susie and her dad.
I am changed for reading this book. Make it into a MOVIE, with Sam as the dad....(I’m not joking, I hung out with my friends at ‘the exchange’ so first hand visuals)
You should be really proud of this. It is a masterpiece!
Keep writing

didn’t fall
I loved that this book didn’t fall into the usual traps of romanticising mental illness. It was raw, and rough, and realistic. Those struggling did not always wrap things up neatly. The experience of others was considered, reflected upon - but not judged. You aren’t told what to feel. As someone who has some experience in the “chronic” end of mental illness, I found this to be a beautiful, more earnest depiction.

Challenging and entertaining book!
As I have a mental illness, I was really curious to hear this book, to hear another perspective. I found it a very good book, written with sensitivity and the author's 'standoffish' tone of voice matched one of the book's themes of not wanting to get hurt. She portrayed the sometimes 'kookiness' of mental illness well and with gentleness. I highly recommend this book.

Fantabulous!!!!!!
I totally loved every word of this book and the writing style and inner thoughts of Susie shoes and Miss K were just a breath of fresh air.
The imagination and turn of phrase was spectacular and made me smile even at times in the sad bits. This is the best book ever !

Brilliant
I loved this book what a great insight into a young girls mind who craves freedom and see's life differently. we all see life differently while trying to work it out. None of us get it it's just perception and views based on experience. Nice to read/listen to a book that features mental health in a way that's not doom and glume just life as it happens. only point I would say is it's a pitty we didn't hear about what happened with her relationships with her, dad, Jeremy and Loui but on reflection maybe they just disappeared after the last big bad/good thing that happened to her. Great story.
