Review
"Wilma Fellman has given us a true gift of herself by letting us see inside. In the process, she helps us all become a bit more forgiving and understanding of ourselves. Through her humor and sensitivity, she captures the feeling of what it's like to live in an ADD body and with an ADD mind. "The Other Me" can help those who are coping with their ADD all alone feel less isolated and more understood. For others, this collection of poems will bring waves of identification, as they find that one special piece that describes their private experiences in such a clear and moving way." -- Sari Solden, M.S., M.F.C.C. author of "Women with Attention Deficit Disorder

Customer Reviews

A delightful book!
Wilma Fellman has written a warm, insightful, entertaining book of poetry about living with the ADD experience. If you think you've read "every" book on ADD, think again. This one is in a category and class by itself. I recommend it for people who have ADD, and also for those people in your life who might have difficulty "getting" what ADD is about. Adults and children can relate to Wilma's poems and go "aha! that's me!" My personal favorite is "Lima Beans, Brocolli, and Liver" which describes what a little girl with ADD goes through in a classroom -- much better than any book on kids with ADD can describe it. I like this book a lot and highly recommend it.

I'm newly diagnosed. This book helps alot.
I attended a conference and heard about this book. Once I read it, I felt myself relax. There are people like me who are smart, good people with disabilities we can't control. It helps to hear Ms. Fellman talk about how this feels. I agree with her 100%.
