'A mother-daughter guide to navigating a teenage mental-health crisis' THE TIMES
'It made me cry, laugh and hug my daughter extra tightly' BRYONY GORDON

How can we communicate better across the generational divide?

When Rowan was sixteen, she experienced a mental-health breakdown. She and her mother, Christie, were barely speaking but they finally began to talk. Their conversations not only revealed the chasm between their generations, but also enabled Christie to really get to know her daughter – and in doing so, understand how she could help Rowan recover.

In an age of polarisation, this is a book about how a mother and daughter find humour in the things that divide them and with it a way to connect. Its bare honesty will have you laughing – and possibly crying – out loud as it shows that you are not alone.
