Does our past define us? Or does it merely serve to inform our future?

At its heart, this book is a story of overcoming anxiety and depression, as well as suicidal tendencies and attempts. With a remarkably candid approach, peppered with dry humor and keen observation, author James Francis takes us on a journey that is all at once deep, dark, twisting, and ultimately so very redemptive.

One part gripping memoir, and one part how-to guide, you will come away with tools such as:

• A better understanding of anxiety and depression
• Ideas for a roadmap to personal mental health
• Exploration of personal and romantic relationship dynamics in regard to mental health
• Notable authors to read on the journey to healing
• Music suggestions to stir your soul and learn from
• A reality check on the uniqueness of each person's journey
• And so much more...

This is a book of triumph, a victory over mental health struggles earned through the hardest of trials. You can use your past to create a healthier future too - it starts here, it starts now.
