"At last: you are not patient 2794 or Syndrome XY: you are a whole
human being with a personal history, a family, community and a
changing body. Lorraine Roses enthralling book is unlike anything I
have seen before and twice as satisfying. This is your mind and
mine from first burp to senior reflections - a story all of us want
to understand as we grow. Now we can." Robyn Williams, Science
broadcaster
"I cant recommend this book highly enough. Presenting complex and
fascinating aspects of the development of individuals in
contemporary life, this absorbing and satisfyingly accessible book
is a must read; it is a have-to-have book." Jill Henry,
counsellor/psychotherapist, former publisher for Cambridge Press
and Oxford Press in Australia
