When I turned 40 in 2021, I was ready to start writing Louder Than Hunger, a fictionalized account of my experiences and emotions living in residential treatment facilities. I was ready to address the pain of my past in the hope that it would help others. booklistonline.com/Writers-Reader…

In the weeks leading up to my first hospitalization, it was almost as though I wanted to get caught.
The Voice talked nonstop. It told me I was worthless. It shouted that I didn’t deserve to live. It sabotaged and tormented me all day. booklistonline.com/Writers-Reader…

Margie Myers-Culver Thank you! I’ve been thinking about Heidi Stevens’s article about Louder Than Hunger all day. She writes it with such care.
