    About this ebook

    When Lightning Strikes is a journey of self-discovery and finding the strength not to give in to the demands of life and depression. It is inspirational, thoughtful, a light at the end of the tunnel for people with depression and anxiety, and an anchor to keep us from sinking deeper into the dangerous, unknown waters below. When Lightning Strikes shows us that while the world may look scary and unapproachable, it is our job to look for the rainbows and sunshine at the end of the storm. When Lightning Strikes is a story about feeling alone and rising above that. It is about taking our lives in our own hands and making it our own.
