An intelligent and precocious child growing up in suburban Dublin, Gaughan was burdened by an alcoholic father whose abuse of drink masked his serious underlying mental health issues for years. Intensely close, they treat each other almost as equals, the parent not afraid to share the realities of the adult world with his young daughter. His decline into severe mental distress, and what that results in, marks Gaughan for life. An unflinching account of a young woman's alternating attempts to survive her father's suicide - or die from it. Marise Gaughan writes with heart-rending precision of the dynamics between fathers and daughters, as well as the still more troubling sexual one between older men and damaged young women. This is a knife-sharp and defiant story of recovery. Am I just imagining that? Does anyone really snarl? Or do we just create villains out of people to make us feel better? Where so much writing about mental illness is riddled with po-faced earnestness and cliche, Marise Gaughan's take no prisoners approach to craziness, sex and Catholic girlhood is spit-your-tea-out funny.'

Midway into the narrative, Gaughan re-analyses her troubled adolescence, seeing the advent of her own depression beginning in her teens. Therapy and medication do little to help her suffering, and she lives this time with a new morbidity that enters her thinking, a desire to die.
