I must say after reading the
reviews on the internet I did my best to avoid the book. When a friend finally
made sure that I have it in my hand, I knew I had to face my fears and read it.
The book is such an easy intimate read; she takes you through her journey of
life. You get to experience her pain, heartache, anger, fear, anxiety,
loneliness and also share in her bravery, courage, her honesty is refreshing. When
you read the book it’s like you can touch her emotions. It is about her battle
with depression and being in the sport light, how it nearly robbed her of true
joy. I actually twitted to her after reading and said she is to the black woman
what Peter was to the early church. (Depressions is viewed as a “white people‘s”
condition) Peter was the first to raise his voice on Acts 1:14:39 and preach at
Pentecost when the church came to be. By sharing her story and living no stone
unturned she has given clinical depression a brand new face and voice, one
which a lot of us can relate to and connect with. She has given me hope and for
that I can recommend this book to anyone.
