Book Description
From five years old, Abbie didn't know who she was supposed to be. To deal with her lack of identity she turned to self-harm, using it as a form of control. Eventually she began the painstaking process of stopping her behavior and discovering who she was in Christ. In her stark autobiography Abigail Robson deals with the delicate and often misunderstood issues of self harm, bulimia and anorexia. Dispelling the often held belief that ‘cutting’ is purely attention seeking behaviour the book offers first hand insight into the torment which many people suffer in an attempt to cope with the reality of everyday day life. Robson is disarmingly honest at times as she takes the reader through her journey through self hatred, insecurity and desire for control to forgiveness, acceptance and ultimate freedom through Christ. Abigail offers hope without trivializing the immense struggles involved in breaking free from this desperate, lonely and destructive cycle.

Book Description
Sometimes I wonder what it will feel like when you find the one. You know, your soul mate, the love of your life. Will you feel it in his kiss? His touch? His laughter? His smile? Now, after everything that has happened, I look at myself and I look at him. The tingling in my lips lasts for days when he kisses me. The warmth of his hands is always with me. He is the one who isn't just there in the light, but the one who comes closer during the darkest hours. I love not only who he is but who I am when I am with him.

Author: Tom Wilson Publisher: Doubleday Canada ISBN: 0385685661 Category : Biography & Autobiography Languages : en Pages : 242
Book Description
"I'm scared and scarred but I’ve survived" Tom Wilson was raised in the rough-and-tumble world of Hamilton—Steeltown— in the company of World War II vets, factory workers, fall-guy wrestlers and the deeply guarded secrets kept by his parents, Bunny and George. For decades Tom carved out a life for himself in shadows. He built an international music career and became a father, he battled demons and addiction, and he waited, hoping for the lies to cease and the truth to emerge. It would. And when it did, it would sweep up the St. Lawrence River to the Mohawk reserves of Quebec, on to the heights of the Manhattan skyline. With a rare gift for storytelling and an astonishing story to tell, Tom writes with unflinching honesty and extraordinary compassion about his search for the truth. It's a story about scars, about the ones that hurt us, and the ones that make us who we are. From Beautiful Scars: Even as a kid my existence as the son of Bunny and George Wilson seemed far-fetched to me. When I went over it in my head, none of it added up. The other kids on East 36th Street in Hamilton used to tell me stories of their mothers being pregnant and their newborn siblings coming home from the hospital. Nobody ever talked about Bunny's and my return from the hospital. In my mind my birth was like the nativity, only with gnarly dogs and dirty snow and a chipped picket fence and old blind people with short tempers and dim lights, ashtrays full of Export Plain cigarette butts and bottles of rum. Once, when I was about four, I asked Bunny, "How come I don't look anything like you and George? How come you are old and the other moms are young?" "There are secrets I know about you that I’ll take to my grave," she responded. And that pretty well finished that. Bunny built up a wall to protect her secrets, and as a result I built a wall to protect myself.

Book Description
This anthology is a diminutive step towards men who face multifarious misdemeanors but their voices have been imprisoned in the hysteric norms of the society since ages. There are hundreds of books, magazines and influencers disguised as voices for the tribulations of women. But this time, the compiler wanted to play fair with the men section of the society. The orthodox contemplative labels men as strong masculine creatures who are forbidden to cry or act weak. "Hidden Scars of Men" of 15 writers is a miniscule means to escalate all those unprecedented squeals of men that they've been prisoning inside themselves. A step to showcase the world that MEN'S WOEBEGONE EMOTIONS MATTERS TOO
