Reviews
"Absorbing . . . a reckoning, and Foo approaches it with candor and rigor . . . profoundly affecting." -- The New York Times "Foo's happy ending is nothing short of deliverance--rich and joyful and full of care the child was denied. . . . Possibility still glows around the edges of her sight." -- USA Today "An unflinching reminder of the hidden struggles many face, told with the keen eye of a researcher and the brutality of a documentarian." --NPR "Many trauma survivors struggle to describe the seemingly indescribable sense of carrying something intangibly sharp--something there but not there--inside. But in What My Bones Know, Stephanie Foo details that and more. Her achingly exquisite memoir takes us on a journey through complex trauma, illuminating her path of self-discovery and providing real hope for those who long to heal." --Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone "At turns funny and devastating, terrifying and transcendent, Foo's quest for understanding should be relevant not just to someone with C-PTSD but to anyone seeking to grow and be present in this one life." --Jenny Odell, New York Times bestselling author of How to Do Nothing "Funny and tragic, unflinchingly honest and relentlessly hopeful, What My Bones Know is a marvel of a book." --Ed Yong, New York Times bestselling author of I Contain Multitudes "Foo's journalistic eye serves her generously through a hard-won examination of trauma and its aftermath. I cried while turning the pages; I knew that I was witnessing an astonishing literary endeavor. For others who live with C-PTSD, this is a crucial, life-changing book." --Esmé Weijun Wang, New York Times bestselling author of The Collected Schizophrenias " What My Bones Know is an absolute triumph. Foo's beautifully written memoir is a balm and a light for anyone afraid that their early traumas have permanently stunted their capacity for connection, love, and purpose. This book is a must-read for anyone hungry for hope." --Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author of Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My Life "A testament to Foo's determination, What My Bones Know is an act of reclamation--and a bold, defiant proclamation: 'I am here.'" --Kat Chow, author of Seeing Ghosts "This book is a major step forward in the study of trauma. It's also a huge artistic genre-busting achievement. Stephanie Foo's brilliant storytelling and strong, funny, relatable voice makes complex PTSD enjoyable to read about." --Kathleen Hanna, singer for Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, and The Julie Ruin "This is a work of immense beauty." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Foo's writing is shrewdly insightful. In telling her story so compellingly, she joins authors such as Anna Qu and Ly Tran in adding nuance to the 'model minority' myth, if not actively subverting it. . . . Highly recommended." -- Library Journal (starred review)

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A searing memoir of reckoning and healing by acclaimed journalist Stephanie Foo, investigating the little-understood science behind complex PTSD and how it has shaped her life "Achingly exquisite . . . providing real hope for those who long to heal."--Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, NPR, Mashable, She Reads, Publishers Weekly By age thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: She had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door, she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning. After years of questioning what was wrong with herself, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD--a condition that occurs when trauma happens continuously, over the course of years. Both of Foo's parents abandoned her when she was a teenager, after years of physical and verbal abuse and neglect. She thought she'd moved on, but her new diagnosis illuminated the way her past continued to threaten her health, relationships, and career. She found limited resources to help her, so Foo set out to heal herself, and to map her experiences onto the scarce literature about C-PTSD. In this deeply personal and thoroughly researched account, Foo interviews scientists and psychologists and tries a variety of innovative therapies. She returns to her hometown of San Jose, California, to investigate the effects of immigrant trauma on the community, and she uncovers family secrets in the country of her birth, Malaysia, to learn how trauma can be inherited through generations. Ultimately, she discovers that you don't move on from trauma--but you can learn to move with it. Powerful, enlightening, and hopeful, What My Bones Know is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body--and examines one woman's ability to reclaim agency from her trauma., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A searing memoir of reckoning and healing by acclaimed journalist Stephanie Foo, investigating the little-understood science behind complex PTSD and how it has shaped her life "Achingly exquisite . . . providing real hope for those who long to heal."--Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, NPR, Mashable, She Reads, Publishers Weekly By age thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: She had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend.
