Synopsis

Defriending Facebook is the raw, autobiographical account of award-winning CNN producer Rachel Ruff's four-year addiction to Facebook. This is the story of one woman's desire to showcase an enviable life on Facebook, while nearly destroying her self-image and devotion to loved ones, bringing her dangerously close to taking her own life. Her memoir inspires us to return to life before the existence of virtual relationships.
