A harrowing, remarkable poetry memoir about one girl's struggle with anxiety disorder.

A harrowing, remarkable poetry memoir about one girl's struggle with anxiety disorder.This is a true story of growing up, breaking down, and coming to grips with a psychological disorder. When Samantha Schutz first left home for college, she was excited by the possibilities — freedom from parents, freedom from a boyfriend who was reckless with her affections, freedom from the person she was supposed to be. At first, she revelled in the independence. . . but as pressures increased, she began to suffer anxiety attacks that would leave her mentally shaken and physically incapacitated. Thus began a hard road of discovery and coping, powerfully rendered in this poetry memoir.

      Listeners will hear the emotion in author Samantha Schutz's voice as she describes the panic attacks that began at the time she graduated from high school, as well as her frustration when a string of medications fails to control them. She says in her author's note that she originally wrote her book not only to look seriously at her recovery, but also to provide comfort to others and encouragement to seek help. Having an author, however inexperienced, narrate their own work brings authenticity that will allow young listeners to relate to it. Speaking directly to her audience gives her verse a more intimate, conversational feel as Schutz shares her experience with a painful psychological disorder. E.J.F. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
