Description

The book begins with the author contemplating suicide via handgun and then proceeds to describe her journey through depression and seeming madness at a mental health and recovery facility in South Carolina. Along the way, she describes many characters who were influential in her life--both positively and negatively. The book concludes with a description of her life and practice as it now is, and with a discussion of how negative events can shape a person positively if these events are looked at with an eye toward self growth.
