But as she embraced the risks and costs of change, she gained momentum, reclaiming mobility, health, a lightness of being, joy.Monique's journey from morbid obesity to living health has also been a trek from self-hatred and shame, towards self-respect and freedom.Inch by Inch is the third title in Monique Lisbon's evolving story of hope, following on from her previous two books/CDs: - Fragments of Home: Piecing Life Together after Childhood Sexual Abuse- Keeping Mum: The Silent Cost of Surviving Childhood Sexual AbuseIncludes full-length album of songs by the author.More information from www.inchbyinch.net.au
