About this listen

A powerful, raw and unflinchingly honest account of a life coming undone.

To everyone else, Terri White appeared to be living the dream, named one of Folio's Top Women in US Media and accruing further awards for the magazines she was editing. In reality, she was rapidly skidding towards a mental health crisis that would land her in a locked psychiatric ward as her past caught up with her.

As well as growing up in a household in poverty, Terri endured sexual and physical abuse at the hands of a number of her mother's partners. Her success defied all expectations, but the greater the disparity between her outer achievements and inner demons, the more she struggled to hold everything together.

Coming Undone is the story of Terri's unravelling and her precarious navigation back from a life in pieces.

I downloaded this book after listening to Terris podcast .
Her story is fascinating and heart wrenching. I felt I was living her life with her throughout this book. I was totally captivated , I didn't want it to end and would love a follow up book

couldn't stop listening

When I heard that Terri was bringing out her memoirs I was super excited but haven’t had much chance to read since out baby arrived less than 3 months ago.

Then I remembered- AUDIBLE! I’m so glad it’s on here and just devoured it in one day during a combination of walks with the bairn.

The story is honest in a way that I was unexpecting. I thought it would just be about her rise to editor of the worlds biggest film magazine. Chapters 1 and 2 taught me not to assume, and had me hooked. Strap in folks.

Wow!

I have to be honest and say that I already admired Terri White before I read this book.

That hasn’t changed.

If anything I have gained even more admiration and respect for her.

This book is a incredibly honest and courageous account of the difficulties Terri has suffered in her life and her journey to try and overcome them. It is both inspiring and enlightening.

It is however not for the faint hearted as it contains very graphic descriptions of abuse, self harm and mental illness.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has struggled with mental health issues but also to people who have not but would like to gain some understanding as to the difficulties a person can encounter.

A courageous book. Written with wholehearted honesty by a courageous and inspiring woman.

Very well written. I listened to the whole thing in 2 days. I just wished it was longer, she can probably write a part 2.

excellent

I was hooked all the way through. intact I completed the book on two sittings. it's compelling, heart wrenching and blunt. I felt like it ended so abruptly. I wanted to hear about her recovery, meeting her husband and having her baby. hopefully she'll release another book that shows that journey too.

Wasn't ready for it to end
