A deeply moving memoir that tells the story of a successful journalist who, after years of pushing through life, is diagnosed with complex PTSD. Foo takes us inside her journey of uncovering how a childhood marked by abandonment and abuse left lasting imprints on her mind, body, and relationships. Along the way, she dives into the science of trauma, epigenetics, and neuroplasticity, showing how experiences literally shape our biology — but also how healing practices can rewire old patterns. 

Through therapy, community, and moments of spiritual reflection, she discovers that recovery isn’t about erasing the past, but about building a compassionate and resilient future.
