Publisher's Synopsis
This heart-wrenching personal memoir takes readers on an uplifting and transformative journey with an Alaskan mother of four as she courageously rebuilds her family's life far from home after losing her husband to suicide. It is a candid and gripping story of one family's battle with chronic depression and their desperate search to find answers, including emigrating halfway around the world to New Zealand. Part memoir, partly an aid to self-development, Facing The Dark is a raw account that questions what it means to be a happy human being in a sugar-coated world. It maps a way through depression by viewing it as an exploration of the darkness that resides in every soul. Through such a search, the light from within can be expressed and, more importantly, celebrated. This is a true story of hope and healing after loss.
