My name, at least for now, is Amelia Thompson. My beloved brother, Matt died when I was nine; tumbled over the edge, quite literally, by personal tragedy. It wasn't all my fault, others played their part, Inspector Munroe in particular. Ignoring me was Munroe's biggest mistake and since then, his destruction has become my sole aim; it is an intellectual game that I play; atonement and retribution wrapped up in one sweet parcel of fitting revenge. You may even know me for I am everywhere. I may be your acquaintance, your colleague, your friend, your confidante, but ignore me and I will be your nemesis and I never forget. This is what you risk when you deny an intelligent but psychologically fragile child the attention she craves.

This book is not only a short autobiography about Chelsea Bleau and her family but also somewhat of a self-help book, containing advice and coping techniques that she has learned throughout the years in the mental health system.

The book contains some subject matter not for the faint of heart, but hopefully that paints a picture of what it's like to live with or around illnesses such as these.
