Author visit, Kim Hodges

After the success of her first memoir, “Girl on the Edge” (2016), academic and author Kim Hodges will be launching her latest book, “Girl Over the Edge” at Temora Library in July.

Kim will speak at the launch about her battle with mental illness, including severe depression, bipolar 2 disorder, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Her raw and honest approach aims to challenge beliefs, attitudes and reduce the stigma in society around mental illness.

Kim says “this memoir captures the denial, stigma and shame I have in my own mind about mental illness; the debilitating physical and mental agony of the illness; engagements with health professionals, and facing my own mortality.”

“A Girl Over the Edge” will be on sale at the presentation and is available in bookstores now
