Coming Undone is Terri's documentation of her unravelling, and her precarious navigation back from a life in pieces.
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 Terri’s documentation of her unravelling, and her precarious navigation back from a life in pieces.
‘Bittersweet and raw, and radical as a memoir. Not so much a redemption tale as a chronicle of the real fallout of trauma: messy, difficult, intricate, infinite.’
Emma Jane Unsworth, author of Animals
‘I didn’t put it down until finished. White’s extraordinary memoir is gripping, unflinchingly honest and written with great wit.’
Sali Hughes, author of Pretty Honest
