I See, Me (a memoir) is available in paperback or kindle from Amazon
In January 2017 when Philippa suddenly lost a lot of the sight in her right eye, what followed wasn’t just the medical process of recovering most of that sight but an unravelling of the previous 47 years of her life to revisit the things she had refused to see. The ensuing transformation has enabled Philippa to have a totally new vision of her present and future and a desire to share it with you in the hope that it can help you see things in a new light too.
This is Philippa’s journey from “less than” to “enough”, from fearful, in pain and angry to open, courageous and alive.
You can read more about the process of writing the book in a blog post HERE.
