This book is a unique & highly personal account of the months leading up to a young woman’s suicide, based on unprecedented access to the diary that chronicled the last year of her life. The volume combines an intimate look at the suicide victim’s diary with in-depth analysis of the diary by a diverse collection of leading scholars from a variety of fields including suicidology, linguistics, women’s studies & Jungian psychology, in an attempt to approach a more multi-dimensional understanding of suicide.
