Présentation de l'éditeur

In her first book, Puppet on a String, Helena Wilkinson told the moving story of her struggle agaisnt anorexia nervosa which almost claimed her life. Written whilst still a teenager, the book became a best-seller and there was demand from readers to know if she had sustained her recovery. Snakes and Ladders is an honest account of the years following the pulication of Puppet on a String. After the worst of the illness was over Helena suffered the death of a close friend in tragic circumstances, a broken engagement, health problems and depression all in close succession. Despite the battles Helena faced, she still took up the challenge of accepting a job offer to work in a Zulu hospital for a year, just when a general state of emergency had been declared. Re-released almost 20 years after it was written, Snakes and Ladders offers invaluable insights for us all as we face life's trials. 'Whether we are climbing up the ladder or sliding down the snake, God is just as real,' writes Helena. 'He has a plan for each of our lives and whatever the circumstances His love for us does not change.'
