Summary

Kay Whiting Harrison shares her personal journey through the twists, turns, triumphs, and tragedies of her life as she secretly struggles with a mental illness. She copes with a severe and terminal disability of one child, a life-threatening illness with another, financial pressures, and other life challenges while trying to keep the demons of depression and anxiety at bay and hidden from the rest of the world.

Despite being a competent wife, mother, businesswoman, and community leader, mounting tensions and mental illness eventually led her to try to take her own life. She shares her initial disappointment at surviving. As a perfectionist, surviving was not in her plan.

Yet, not only did she survive, much to her own surprise, she transformed from being ashamed and hiding her struggles to becoming an outspoken advocate, sharing her personal experiences with others to let them know that not only is it okay to talk about your mental health but it’s essential—and in some cases, lifesaving!

This memoir/biography is raw, real, and vulnerable. It takes you on a journey that is both relatable and riveting as it describes the human problems many of us face and how coping with them can be exacerbated when besieged by a mental illness.

This story will hold your attention, capture your heart, and inspire you to have hope that healing and recovery are not only possible but inevitable—once the courage is summoned to open up and seek support and treatment.
