In reality, she was struggling with the trauma of an abusive childhood and the demands of a difficult job in a new country, and rapidly skidding towards a mental health crisis that would land her in a Manhattan psychiatric ward.Coming Undone is Terri's documentation of her unravelling, and her precarious journey back from a life in pieces.

Praise for this book
Unique, painful, compelling--AMY LIPTROT
Coming Undone by Terri White is possibly the most affecting, moving memoir I've ever read. Painful and exquisite, her writing about how childhood trauma shaped her got to me in a very visceral way. It's a remarkable book--MARIAN KEYES
Powerful and moving, beautifully written, packed with stunning set-pieces and, I thought, a stinging-but-dazzling, complicated love-hate letter to NYC, and to how our dreams can too often deceive us. I found it bittersweet and raw, and radical as a memoir narrative: not so much a redemption tale as a chronicle of the real fallout of trauma: messy, difficult, intricate, infinite . . . [A] life-changing read--EMMA JANE UNSWORTH
I didn't put it down until finished. White's extraordinary memoir is gripping, unflinchingly honest and written with great wit--SALI HUGHES
A stunning memoir, hard reading in places, but it feels urgent and necessary . . . White writes like a blood-stained angel--Cathy Rentzenbrink "The Times"
A breathtaking read . . . her honesty and her eloquence is the thing that makes it such a privilege to read . . . a raw, shocking, beautiful book--DOLLY ALDERTON "The High Low"
Written with power, love and heart, it'll leave you wanting to read so much more by this extraordinary writer and woman-- "Stylist"
Raw and remarkable-- "Guardian, Book of the Year"
