    About this ebook

    Some 15 million Americans struggle with depression, an illness that comes in many forms. This complex disorder interferes with concentration and motivation; disrupts sleep, causes fatigue and in some cases, leads to suicide.

    When a person has severe depression, they may have disturbing beliefs--hearing and seeing things others do not.

    “From the Darkness” is based on the true story of
    Lizbeth, a woman suffering from this silent disease. For some unknown reason, a happy family outing turns into a downward spiral for Lizbeth; alienating her husband and children, placing her in a black turmoil.

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i
