Publisher's Summary
The fox sits on the outer waiting for me to discover him because at the moment, I am on the outer, too. He watches me. Can you see him? He’s clever at hiding.
Just like fox, Heidi has lived on the outer. The ‘official record’ of her life has been her mental health record: primary diagnosis - schizoaffective, comorbidity - major depression, juvenile autism and not her own memories. This is the living, breathing version of Heidi’s mental health file that psych wards, doctors, mental health staff or rehab workers know little about or worse, use as evidence of diagnoses. This is Heidi’s account of what happened, shadowed by the story of a fox who knows he'll never belong. Part parable, part memoir, My Friend Fox is a story that might be familiar to some - searching everywhere to finally feel at home. With Fox as her guide, Heidi comes to know how to live authentically, and venture into a future of her own making.

Wonderful
Heidi Everett has written a poignant and beautiful memoir and musing on her life and her pathway through and out of schizophrenia. In the audible reading her voice is honest, beautifully moderated, full of expression but no shrill. While she does refer to traumatic experiences she doesn’t beg for pity - but asks us to learn and acknowledge: Helen
