- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5@SarahGriffin, I read your review, but it didn’t go into any explanation of why and/or how you felt this way due to this book. I suffer from depression myself, thus I was looking into reading a look like this.
Unfortunately depression runs in my family, it very hard when you have more than one person. I wish you the best, I am so sorry you’re going through this, I know there’s is a silver lining behind every dark cloud! You just must have hope and think of think of this as a blessing instead of a curse.
There’s a reason behind everything, sometimes we’ll never know. But you must start looking for the search, you will find a talent hidden within yourself. You could be an artist, writer, painter or something special. Please start looking and discover yourself!1 person found this helpful
