Verdict: carrot
IT IS sometimes difficult to review a book which acts as a confessional of sorts for its author. One does not want to minimise the exper iences of the author in any way as no one can ever judge the path others walk. But airing dirty laundry can make for heavy reading.
Joanne Brodie is now an addictions counsellor. This auto biography is her story of addiction and dysfunction told in graphic detail.
Coming from an apparently respectable home, Brodie’s self-destruction seemed incomprehensible to those around her. Her food addiction turned into an addiction first to cough mixture and then to prescription drugs and finally to cocaine. She tried to commit suicide on many occasions, but she was always saved.
