"I read the book in one sitting and must say that it succeeded in bringing to life something that was clearly very difficult and painful at the time. I am sure that other young people will be able to gain from this personal account."
Consultant Clinical Psychologist
"This book is refreshing and moving and puts a lot of educational issues in their place in the wider questions of life.
University Director of Lifelong Learning

Community Nurse

| Further Information |
This book will change the way you think about bullying, school phobia and school refusal, whether you are a child, a parent, a teacher or therapist. Gemma had regularly absented herself from school because she was afraid of bullies. Over a period of years this developed into a phobic reaction that she could not control. Gemma was eventually referred for clinical psychology intervention because of her significant level of depression.
When Gemma met Lesleyann, it was a serendipitous event in her life; here was someone with both educational and counselling expertise who equally importantly had time to spend coaxing her back to life and working with the professionals involved in her case. This book is the story of their collaborative research journey. It is a story of personal triumph.
This book has an unusual format, each page of the main part of the story is printed as a parallel text. Each person's interpretation of events can be read from page to page or the text can be read in parallel; you can dip into this book or read it from cover to cover.
