FREE Book Giveway - The Boon


Le Morvan via Pinterest


 
I am a glass full kind of a girl, generally optimistic and pretty enthusiastic about life.   Of course I get knock backs in life and suffer a temporary slump when I lack energy and feel down.  Believe me I do love a good wallow from time to time but I can usually pull myself out of it by counting my blessings and giving myself the proverbial "kick up the ar*e."
 
But imagine if a deeper depression took such a hold that you doubted your sanity - your whole life would change..
Fellow Ultimate Blog Challenge blogger, Eugene Uttley has written a book called The Boon about his struggles in coping with schizophrenia. 
 
 
This experimental open letter includes original and appropriated prose, poetry, song, prayer... memoir, travelogue, sketches of Uttley's present-day life, and literary exegesis. Its many sources and topics are ranging, but circle always back to the overarching theme of recovery from mental illness through better knowledge of self and becoming more whole, a complex process both mental and spiritual, which entails increasing awareness of connectedness to the greater whole, the infinite.
