“We live in a mainstream and health culture that demands us to ‘fit in.’ This is the opposite of living an authentic life. Our bodies and minds are speaking to us and doing their job in raising their red flags. The question remains: are we truly ready to listen? Carla’s candid memoir about being diagnosed with ADHD after years of feeling lost and ignored shines a light on the inconvenience of truth. That in itself is a sacred gift to make sure we head somewhere together instead of nowhere.” —Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, bestselling author of Closer Together

“Nowhere Girl is at once lucid, captivating, poignant, terrifying and ultimately uplifting. Once I opened it, I literally could not put it down…. Five stars, highest recommendation.” —Stephen P. Hinshaw, PhD, distinguished professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkley and author of Straight Talk about ADHD in Girls: How to Help Your Daughter Thrive

“Nowhere Girl is funny, wise, infuriating and deeply moving. Carla Ciccone has done a stellar job of explaining how ADHD has affected her life, and the lives of countless other women who have been overlooked and dismissed. I wanted to press this book into the hands of every woman who has ADHD, or knows someone who does—in other words, all of us.” ―Elizabeth Renzetti, author of What She Said: Conversations About Equality

“Truly eye-opening.” ―Anna Mehler Paperny, journalist and author of Hello, I Want to Die Please Fix Me: Depression in the First Person

“Ciccone’s in-depth research and vulnerable storytelling opens up space for the hard, messy and complicated truths of life with ADHD for girls and women. Nowhere Girl reads like a warm hug, a pep talk and a call to action for us all. I think it’s the most important book of the year.” —Julie S. Lalonde, author of Resilience Is Futile: The Life and Death and Life of Julie S. Lalonde

“Carla Ciccone is a masterful writer. Nowhere Girl is powerful, vulnerable and a testament to the necessity of empathy and understanding when navigating ADHD, but on a personal level, this book made me feel seen, heard and not alone.” —Anne T. Donahue, author of Nobody Cares
