Polly Marie was fostered eight times in her first year of life, the last time so abusive she had to spend a week in hospital. This left baby Polly withdrawn and deeply unhappy.
A couple, wanting a sister for their three-year-old daughter, adopted Polly and slowly taught her to trust again. But all too soon her life fell apart again. And finding out during a playground argument that she was adopted added to her feelings of fear and insecurity. This first book in this trilogy is an honest and open account of traumatic events in her life. It is about the relationships with her adoptive mother and the biological mother she traced as an adult.
"I was emotionally drained reading Polly's story. I was there with her every step. It's cruel that anyone would treat a human being in this way, especially a child. It's a miracle that she did survive." Helen Robinson, former Chief Executive, Lincoln MIND.
In the second book, despite severe self loathing and several suicide attempts, Polly battles through the minefield of the mental health system to get the appropriate help.
"A Mind To Be Free highlights how extremely hard it is for a person whose complex difficulties do not fit into simple categories of mental illness to find effective treatment. The author has had to struggle not only with her own problems but also with the weaknesses of mental health care." Rai Turton, Chartered Clinical Psychologist.
Crossing the Borderline tells how Polly learns to cope in constructive ways with her powerful negative emotions, her sense of rejection and feelings of worthlessness.
"A balanced account of the lived experience of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. This should be read by clinicians and service users alike. The first book to bring Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to life, this is a must-read for anybody who has an interest in this novel treatment." Paul Barrett, Nurse Specialist (Community Personality Disorders Service), Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Trust.
