Out of the Dark - Linda Caine ... should have everything to live for. Yet a blackness has started to leak into her thoughts. Images flash through her head leaving her stunned and breathless. On the face of it there is no rational explanation for the way she feels. Linda believes there is something malign inside her. But in the back of her mind a voice tells her over and over again that everything will be OK. When it finally gets too much, she can always simply die. 'How shall I die if that time comes? I need to know these things. They have to be planned.' It must look like an accident. She will deliberately drive off the road on her way home from her weekly shopping trip. After all, who commits suicide with a load of groceries in their car? The raw and powerful journey Linda takes with her psychotherapist Robin Royston to discover what lies at the heart of her depression will leave you shocked. The secrets in her African childhood and adolescence are buried so deep that to reveal them may destroy her completely. Together Linda and Robin race to unravel the clues, before it is too late.

 ... a lot of books about self-harm which basically say that if you pray and embrace God's love then all your problems will go away, la la la - of course life isn't this simple! However, I think I jumped to conclusions, and as I got further into Linda's story I couldn't put it down.

Even more worrying for her are the 'flashes' which go through her mind, and the time which she seems to just 'los...more

---Why I got the book--- This book had been on my Amazon wishlist for a long time, so when I joined BookMooch it was one of the first books I mooched. Although I'm generally drawn towards autobiographies, especially when they involve mental health issues, I was particularly drawn to this one as I had been told that it involved themes of self-harm.

OUT OF THE DARK This autobiography was so popular when it was first published in paper back format in 2004 that it stayed on the list of best sellers for most of that year.
