About :   Under the Fig Tree





'These are the words' PATTI SMITH. This song was played at Anna's funeral. Every Saturday morning, she would sit outside a Parisian café reading The New York Times in the hope that there would be a featured article about her idol and other interesting American artists. To honour Anna's legacy, all proceeds from this book will be donated to the cause of improving mental health and reducing the number of lives lost to suicide. Inspired by Anna, the 'The Anna Wright Art Foundation' is in the process of becoming a registered charity, and will work to further this mission. 'Anna was in a constant battle with the powerful 'internal saboteur' who criticised her every move. Others suffering from this revolting disease also speak of an inner demon that controls them. My daughter cried, 'Nobody understands me...I give up...you will all be better off without me!'. She was unable to digest any positive feedback - she was only able to swallow negative words. They spit out all goodness. Anorexia is a tricky and deadly disease that needs to be tackled head on as soon as possible. Time is the enemy. Nip it in the bud.' Until the new year - 2022', when Anna's foundation (Anna M Wright Art Foundation) is legally completed, all proceeds from this book will be channeled through NPT CRM and into another charity dealing with suicide RITA


About Rita and Anna M Wright


Anna was in a constant battle with the powerful �internal saboteur� who criticised her every move. Anorexia is a tricky and deadly disease that needs to be tackled head on. Anna was the only daughter of author and Counsellor Rita Wright. This memoir is a searingly honest retelling of a mother�s portrayal of her daughter�s life and suicide, and her own journey to healing. It is more than a memoir, as Rita analyses social anxiety, anorexia, addictive personalities and offers ways of grieving and carrying on without a Loved one who has taken their life. Anniversaries and other triggers that send those left behind grieving are excruciating. Ways of coping, how to stay alive, prevention and postvention are all discussed. All proceeds from this book will be donated to The Anna M Wright Art Foundation.
