"I felt like killing myself." That's the sentence Paula Axelrod couldn't say out loud, until a poster taped to a dormitory wall gave her somewhere to go. What followed was twenty years of therapy spent unpacking a childhood ruled by an alcoholic father, a mother's own eating disorder, and a family that made love feel dangerous.

This isn't a polished self help book.
