What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma

"In her debut memoir, Stephanie Foo confronts her history growing up in an abusive household and, as an adult, battling complex PTSD, a disorder that many refuse to even recognize. As doggedly as she might have chased a story as a producer for This American Life and Snap Judgment, Foo documents the search for treatment for her diagnosis and brings the reader along in the journey toward understanding her own mind. It’s an unflinching reminder of the hidden struggles many face, told with the keen eye of a researcher and the brutality of a documentarian."
