Blow Away the Black Clouds

There are seasons in each of our lives, and this summer was my wet monsoon. I have a tendency to get gloomy and depressed when too many worries start to pile up - the trouble with living vicariously through everyone around you. I hate gloomy, depressing people, so when I saw this title I snacked it up. If you just want someone to crawl into bed with you and understand, she understands, and she brings a hot cup of tea and warm hug with her. Her humor will perk you up. Her compassion will give you comfort. She is a good friend. Give her a read.

The best books on depression are written by one who has been there! Florence has been there (just wait until you read her amazing story..) but she was determined to not stay there. With practical advice, but also sympathy about the true effects of depression, Florence will lead you through ways to gain control of your emotions that want to weigh you down. I recommend this book frequently to people who live with chronic illness and also deal with the issues of depression.(...)

This is a humorous, methodical book of unexpected challenges. Ms. Littauer presents her life expectations and self improvement as she goes about dealing with extremely sensitive and challenging events in her life. She works herself, and us, over as she lets us in on her vision for herself, her future and her family. She cleverly leads us along and one wonders why the title, "blow the dark clouds of depression away". I expected someone to relate to my depression and my family experience. Here she is poking fun at herself and life and then Boom...the unthinkable happens to her. I loved this book.
