Moving Towards the Light

The farm--lost. The marriage--over. Now a single mother, the author gets a job with Social Services, which leads to a long career as an intensive case manager in the Department of Mental Health. The author weaves her own story of love and faith into stories of her community and her clients, sometimes tragic, sometimes funny, sometimes heartwarming and romantic.

This sensitive, intimate look at cases of OCD, bipolar disorder, psychopathy, ADHD, and most dramatically, dissociative identity disorder, illustrates the surprising ability of some of the most deeply afflicted to turn their lives around with the support of the community and dedicated workers in the field of mental health. This spiritual journey of human souls moving toward the light will open your heart and inspire you with hope.
