Subsequent Slices: A Memoir-in-progress in Bloomington, MN

In this follow-up to "Slices," Violet Wilson tries to juggle taking classes at a new university with working with a new shrink to stop cutting herself. The first small step - understanding not why she feels what she feels, but just what she feels at all - is more confusing than her college courses. Simply being aware of being inside her own body can be far more painful and terrifying than a nice clean cut on her arm. These new sections are a long way from resolution, but this was where the long slog toward sanity finally started.
