With a tender touch, Smith contemplates the two truths of her childhood: the wild island adventures and the brutal eruptions behind closed doors. Standing on the precipice of her own alcoholism, she realises that reckoning with the past is the only way to shape the future.

Here’s a short video I’ve made about the memoir, just a minute long.
Going Under is funny, insightful and inspiring. This is like hanging out with a really brilliant friend who, you know, will make you a better person.

Going Under Audible Reviews
Combines a life story with beautiful descriptive writing of a childhood in Scotland and of an immigrant to Australia.
I’ve read a lot of recovery books but this is different. The descriptive writing brings it to life. You can completely imagine the Scottish life, and the Australian life and this is a story of a reconciliation of childhood trauma filled with wonderful memories and a life set up in Sydney then Orange. A story of a mother, a wife, a recovery from a toxic relationship with alcohol, a life well lived! I really enjoyed Seana’s voice too. I really love when the author narrates their own book. Highly recommend.

What A Story and Told With Such Honesty and Heart.
What a story. What a woman you are too. I am pleased to have been able to not only listen to this memoir but to think more about you…even though I knew you from our shared blogging years, I really knew not much.
To be as brave and courageous as this, sharing the many experiences that you are not so proud of (no thanks drinking) and those where you have felt love and care for your beautiful family.
I loved hearing your voice (and accent) Seana in my ears for this worthy book.
I am learning more about memoir myself and found this book of much interest.
I am in awe of the struggles you have overcome…and not with ease but with a sudden relevation.
Life, hey it’s interesting and you are here sharing the stories.

This unique book explores many important life topics and shines a light in dark places – all made palatable by the author’s exquisite use of language, humour and explosive truth bombs.
So powerful incorporating a memoir with quit lit all described in vivid words and imagery, which still linger. Moves effortlessly through different countries, eras and topics, I related personally to many aspects of this book and so refreshing to see them through Seana’s illuminating lens.
Top marks! I enjoyed the audiobook so much (read by the author herself) that I also bought the book in print too.

Very relatable
Very open and courageous. Great story telling and love listening to the Scottish accent. Totally relatable in many ways.
