All the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put Stacey together again.

The bathroom floor is where Stacey found herself when her slow descent into a special kind of mental hell began, culminating in a checking out of sorts. The chaos and exhaustion of her fifteen-year marriage had taken its toll, her disintegration disrupting the lives of her boys who needed her more than ever. It's taken years for her to dissect the pieces of her dysfunctional puzzle, confirming that it wasn't just one event, but many which sent her down the rabbit hole. Grateful that she's still around to share her story in this extraordinary book of very personal essays, Stacey shows us how ignoring mental health issues can lead to some serious shit.

Stacey Powells is a brilliant powerhouse of a writer. This small collection - these personal essays - this book, Empty Cupboards, is miraculous and emotional and disturbing and real and... I could not stop reading it. It pulled at me, urging me on and in, and I fell in love with her words and her heart and her down & dirty truth. You can feel her breaking down, you can sense the pieces of her falling away, you want to grab her and say: yes, yes, this, I know what you mean, I've been there. I. Have. Been. Here. From the very first paragraph to the very last line, Stacey keeps you in her heart. This little gorgeous gem is for anyone - everyone. Stacey's writing is so honest, so raw... you're right there with her. She doesn't just write her story, she makes you FEEL her story, yeah, she's that good.
