Sharp: My Story of Madness, Cutting, and How I Reclaimed My Life

SHARP poignantly describes David Fitzpatrick's two decade struggle with self-mutilation, which began when he started to cut himself after college. In a disturbing but inspiring account, David recounts how he overcame his dangerous and bloody addiction to slashing himself with a razor blade.
SHARP is a compelling narrative of self-examination and determination to understand the mental forces competing ro prevent David from leading a normal life. It is also a tale of hope, a soul-baring quest of a lost man who returns to himself and reclaims his life. With resonant humor and honest prose, it tells a universal and moving story about how David spiritually rebuilt himself from the lessons he learned from the broken people in his life.
A deeply personal exploration, this book is a timely and important story of how one person resiliently overcame his mental illness and self-destructive addiction.
