Brooklyn's battle

"Read the personal story of how a family survives and thrives in the middle of battling anxiety and depression through faith, dedication, and love. In Batavia, Illinois, we have lost three teenagers to suicide in the past three years. The author wages war against the Beast that threatens to take her daughter, Brooklyn, too. Brooklyn's poetry speaks volumes to the agony that millions of teenagers and adults go through daily as they struggle with anxiety and depression. She is able to express through her words the angst millions feel but are unable to vocalize. Her poetry shows the spectrum from the dark side of these disorders to the hope that lies within her. It is her dream that through this book, we can take the shame and stigma away from living with anxiety and depression."--Back cover
