In this searingly honest memoir, screenwriter Chris Easterly shares a powerful and unflinching account of his struggle with clinical depression as a follower of Christ-a struggle that unfolded amid a thriving career, a seemingly stable life, and a sincere walk with God. From emotional collapse in a California carport to profound encounters with God in the quiet of a desert monastery, Easterly traces a journey of despair, discovery, and healing.This is not a book of easy answers. It is a testament to what it means to hold on to faith when hope seems out of reach-to wrestle with Scripture, medication, therapy, and the well-meaning advice of others. Drawing from the Psalms, saints, and his own lived experience, Easterly offers a vulnerable yet hopeful invitation: you are not alone, and your pain is not the end of your story.Whether you're walking through depression yourself or love someone who is, this deeply personal narrative will comfort, challenge, and inspire you.
