A worthy winner without a doubt. As a parent of a child who self harmed this book gave me and my wonderful son hope!! I have done a lot of research on self harm and bought my fair share of books on the topic in a bid to understand self harm and help my son. This book far exceeds any other book I bought. Written with such compassion, no lingo, easy to read and understand, with practical tips and advise. My son also read the book (his 16) and followed the tips and advise within in a bid to take control of his emotions and develop his self care. This book is worthy of acknowledgement, tackling such a prevalent and challenging issue in a respectful, honest and compassionate manner. Well done to you Liz, I'm glad I came across your book.
Best of luck Liz!
