This is a true life story that is written in a simple and haunting way. You can see exactly how 'sane' it feels to be depressed and suicidal. I have not read any other book that describes so well the absolute hopelessness that you feel when you have no one to turn to, have tried and failed conventional treatments, and feel like the only option is to simply stop participating in life.Anyone who has ever battled feelings of despair, depression, and suicidal thoughts will carry this book in their head for a long time.
