I was touched by your story. I couldn't stop reading! This book is so needed. - Peg WakefieldDepression can be a very lonely, shameful disease. Patricia's courage to tell her story healed my soul. I thought I was the only person who thought some of those things. As family (especially my husband) and friends struggled to relate, not knowing how, I only felt worse. Knowing my situation is not unique is a Godsend. I like Patricia's realistic approach that we are a work in progress. That our flaws make us whole and that is O.K. - Brittany Baker BSW

Patricia's experience through deep depression brings hope to the hopeless, and points the way to the light of recovery. Her life has now become a testimony to these truths: "By small and simple things are great things brought to pass;" (Alma 37:6) and "whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he." (Proverbs 16:20). Her faith to endure through this journey, and her willingness to openly share her story is an inspiration to all - DeAnn LarsenI just finished reading your book. I wasn't aware of the scope of your journey with depression. No wonder you have such a humble confidence in the Lord. I'm so glad that you have been able to help others through many programs, etc.
My Journey from Darkness to Light is honest and well organized. After being so engrossed with your story, it was good to go back to the table of contents and see that you followed the Denial, acceptance, etc., in the whole setup for the book. I like that. It will be helpful to the readers to go back and see what helped you in those various stages. It's great to have specific helps at the end that make a bunch of sense after reading the book. You were able to demonstrate their effectiveness in your own life's story.
After reading your book, I feel grateful for God's never-failing love and presence. Thank you for your courage and willingness to relive hard times. - Lisa RoyallI have never gone through a depression before, but I thoroughly enjoyed My Journey from Darkness to Light and got lots of tips that I can use every day.I was really down in the beginning of September and I used some of Patricia's tips for getting me into a more productive, positive mindset - it was great! - Heidi Hamilton
