The author, Vanessa Vega, began self-harming as a small child. According to Dr. Tracy Alderman, a San Diego psychologist and self-injury expert, approximately 13-18% of American teenagers deliberately hurt themselves. As a high school teacher and motivational speaker at various schools, Vega strives to help youngsters who might face the same troubles from her past. "Comes the Darkness, Comes the Light" is a raw, graphic, and sometimes chilling exploration of Vega's struggles. More importantly, the book is a story of hope for others who grapple with the same disorders. Vega shares several of her intense therapy sessions, both group and individual, that finally prompted her recovery process after a 30-year battle. "Comes the Darkness, Comes the Light: A Memoir of Cutting, Healing, and Hope" (AMACOM Books, ISBN 0814474233, May 2007, hardcover, 220 pages, $21.95) www.HealthNewsDigest.com Top of Page
