"Linnell describing her depression felt like I was reading parts of my own life in the last few years. If you’ve ever wanted to know what is going on with a loved one while they suffer from depression I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s raw and powerful and it’s true. And the way out of depression is also true. It’s not a quick process and if you want to know more definitely read this book.” ~ Tea, Chocolate, and Books

"I cheered Renee on from the start. She finds purpose in her life right before the reader’s eyes, and what’s more relatable than that?
