"In this ... memoir of transformation, Rebekah Lyons shares her journey from Atlanta, Georgia, to the heart of Manhattan, where she found herself blindsided by crippling depression and anxiety. Overwhelmed by the pressure to be domestically efficient, professionally astute, and physically attractive, Rebekah finally realized that freedom can come only by facing our greatest fears and fully surrendering to God's call on our lives"--Amazon.com.

I couldn't help thinking through out this story - why wouldn't she talk to her doctor about any of this much sooner!? Mental illness is just that - an illness. God gifted doctors and researchers to HELP people. You wouldn't skip going to the doctor if your leg was cut off, why do it when you have crippling panic attacks?
She clearly states that a ton of us will deal with anxiety or depression but then she tells us the story as if she's the only one who ever had to deal with it.
On top of that the story was jumbled and not very easy to follow along. She tried to tie the story together at the end but I can't help feel like I just could've read the same story in a short blog post.
I wanted to enjoy this after hearing her speak at if: gathering and really enjoying her story but this book was a mess.
