I only wish to review the section by Danielle Downey. I refer you to my following review of Danielle's previous book which casts doubt upon the authenticity of her "story".
This is “Arty”
I am saddened that you have found it necessary to vilify your mother in such an unbalanced way. Your book is factually incorrect in a number of places and you are definitely guilty of omission.
When your mother left your father she DID take you with her. You and she stayed at your grandparent’s house until the outcome of the custody hearing at which point you went to live with your father. Your mother never lived far away from you and she had constant contact with you. You were her bridesmaid when you were five. My sister moved to Wales at the end of 1981 when you were eight. By this time your father and step mother had bought a house and moved in together. All of your close family believed that you were a happy healthy child and that you were in a stable household.
Your mother kept in contact with you. If you did not receive some of your birthday cards it was not because she did not send them. Your father tried very hard to turn you against your mother as is common in acrimonious divorces. You spent many summers and school holidays with your mother and your three siblings in Wales. As you grew up your mother asked you on many occasions whether you wanted to come and live with her. You always said no.
In 1987, when you were fourteen, I had a call from your school asking me to go there. You were upset because you had had a confrontation with your stepmother and she had tried to hit you with a coat hanger. I took you home with me and left you with your nan and then I went to see your stepmother. I then spoke to your father and suggested that you stay with me for a few weeks to let things cool off and he agreed. There was no sneaking your things into my house. It was not until the beginning1989 that your father became very difficult about you staying with me. It was my husband who told your father what he could do with his threats of no money.
Your mother paid for your sixteenth birthday party at the local village hall. She also paid for your eighteenth birthday party at the Foresters Pub where your stepmother made you a beautiful cake and your father attended. You stayed with me until your went to train as a midwife.
You had a fairy tale wedding when you were twenty three and your mother worked all hours to pay for this. Your dress, back then, cost £800 and you had six brides maids with a full reception at a hotel. Ninety per cent of your wedding was paid for by your mother and her husband. With your new husband you moved to Dorset/Somerset where you remained for a number of years.
On the birth of your first child it was your mother and sister who rushed down to you and stayed with you for support. Your second child was also born with support from your mother. Your mother also came down to you for your children’s early birthdays. After the breakup of your first marriage you remained in Dorset/Somerset and married your current partner buying a house together. Your mother, father, step mother and step father were all in attendance at the wedding.
In 2006 you made the decision to move from Dorset/Somerset back to the Midlands less than three miles from your abusive father and cruel stepmother. If you were “safe guarding” your by now six children, why would you do this? You moved fifteen miles away in 2010 after spending four years close to your father. Your father still visited you after you moved.
Your account of my mother dying is inaccurate. You and I arrived at the hospital together where we were told by the nursing staff that she was dying and that I should notify anyone who needed to be with her. We were also told that she had had a stroke and was unable to speak so she did not greet you when we arrived. I rang my sister and my daughter and they arrived some three/four hours later. I did not leave the hospital; why would I? My mother could have died at any time. You did not go in a room with a doctor, the only doctor we saw was after your mother arrived and she and I spoke to him. You did sing to your nan and you were lovely with her. My sister sat with my mother holding her hand and you and she stayed with her when the hospital Chaplin came in to pray with her. My sister and mother did have a fractious relationship but your mother was very caring at her dying mother’s bedside.
There is no explanation in your book as to why “Anne” denied telling you of her abuse so soon after her revelation. There is also no reason given for your three siblings on your mother’s side not speaking to you. It was not your mother who referred to you as “prickly and difficult to be around”. It was your mother’s other daughter, your sister.
I do not know why you have chosen to change history but it is unkind, cruel and thoughtless to have publicly used your mother to sensationalise your story. It appears that you have used this account of your life as a vehicle to enhance your business interests. I am so disappointed that someone as capable as you has chosen to do this.

This book wasn't what i expected it to be. I expected to find a list of self help 'tools' as the title suggests, but it's actually a memoir of how other women overcame their own struggles with mental illness, who now all run successful businesses. Their contact information is also in the book, but nothing is free. Some of the chapters i read, did give some helpful tips, but there was no uniformity to the book. I didn't read all the book, most of it, and it took me too long to read it, other books mainly, but I bought a copy to support someone who has written a chapter, that I know personally. However, in buying the book I let myself down, as I promised myself I wouldn't buy any more self help books, as I don't find them helpful and often detrimental, I must state that I didn't find this book detrimental. I think this book was more cathartic...helpful to those who wrote it then anyone else, to finally be heard is healing in itself.

A book I found through instagram which ended up being a good read. It is about all different authors giving a little insight to their challenges and struggles and then what they done to help themselves through. It was a nice book to get into & I've learnt a few things along the way. All proceeds from this book goes to a mental health charity

After an unexpected trauma life can put you in a spin. It's actions, words and positivity that brings back focus. Reading and listening to other people gives you solace. This book underpins all those messages.
