About the Book

How terrifying is it when you disappear from your everyday life and wake up somewhere else, without even knowing how you got there? That is the experience of someone with dissociative fugue - and that was the life Imogen Groome lived.

A clever and quiet child, Imogen was marginalised and bullied at school. Sometimes she walked out of lessons, because she simply couldn't cope; sometimes, something inside her woke up, and 'The Mad Traveller' took over. Imogen was the girl who kept going missing. And as she struggled to deal with a life that just kept on getting harder, she zoned out more and more. But even when she found herself homeless in London, abused by the people she trusted, and forced to endure a life of compromise, Imogen never lost her faith in her ability to recover. The Mad Traveller is a very relatable story for anyone who has ever found themselves marginalised, alone or afraid. At its heart, this is a story for anyone who has ever dared to dream big.


About the Author: Imogen Groome from London, UK and is a journalist and copywriter who has written extensively on mental health, relationships and politics. She has worked in the creative industry for over 6 years, with her work appearing in Metro, The Sun, The Independent, iNews, New Statesman and Huffington Post. Her life has revolved around awareness of mental health and disability from the start, as she grew up alongside two siblings with autism. She began experiencing anxiety, panic attacks and a fractured sense of self from the age of 13, which led to being diagnosed with one of the rarest psychiatric disorders in the world - fugue state. Also known as reversible amnesia or dissociative fugue, the condition saw Imogen spend 4 years experiencing 'time black-outs', where she would lose access to chunks of her life and 'wake up' somewhere she didn't recognise. Sometimes she was unaware of who she was. Sometimes she thought she was someone else. To this day, she has not regained all of her memories. But 7 years later, enough has trickled through for her to create a narrative that describes what it's like to lose all sense of who you are. The Mad Traveller has been written in the hope that it will resonate, at least in part, with some, give inspiration for those who believe they cannot build a life with mental health issues, and provide a compelling story for all who choose to read it.
