Your Voice in My Head

A Memoir

By: Emma Forrest

Narrated by: Emma Forrest

Emma Forrest, a British journalist, was just 22 and living the fast life in New York City when she realized that her quirks had gone beyond eccentricity. In a cycle of loneliness, damaging relationships, and destructive behavior, she found herself in the chair of a slim, balding, and effortlessly optimistic psychiatrist--a man whose wisdom and humanity would wrench her from the dangerous tide after she tried to end her life. She was on the brink of drowning, but she was still working, still exploring, still writing, and she had also fallen deeply in love. One day, when Emma called to make an appointment with her psychiatrist, she found no one there. He had died, shockingly, at the age of 53, leaving behind a young family. Reeling from the premature death of a man who had become her anchor after she turned up on his doorstep, she was adrift. And when her all-consuming romantic relationship also fell apart, Emma was forced to cling to the page for survival and regain her footing on her own terms.

A modern-day fairy tale, Your Voice in My Head is a stunning memoir, clear-eyed and shot through with wit. In her unique voice, Emma Forrest explores the highs and lows of love and the heartbreak of loss.

Great, quick read

This book was surprisingly amazing! Only surprising because I stumbled into it having heard nothing about it, read the cover blurb, and thought I’d check it out. I absolutely loved it start to finish.

Adored!

I adored this sweet story all the way around! I hope there’s more from this author.

Different read

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the book overall and it made me want to find out more about Dr. R.

Really enjoyed this

My wife recommended this to me, it was very well done. I normally read history and sci-fi so this was a big departure for me but kept me listening.

A must finish!

I almost stopped listening to this book but I’m so glad I didn’t. Such a well rounded story and relatable, even if you do t share the exact same issues. Everyone could benefit from a Dr. R in their lives. 😊
