Synopsis

Barbara had it all: a successful career as an award-winning documentary film maker, a strong relationship, and plenty of friends.  But a lingering problem with anxiety drew her into a dangerous Valium addiction.  Her story is an honest, gripping look into addiction, her ill-advised "cold-turkey" withdrawal and the hospitalizations that followed, the worst the psychiatric field has to offer, and her painful yet persistent pathway back to functioning.  Through it all, Gordon is a beacon of hope, actively choosing life over the alternative, even after journeying to the darkest depths of the human psyche.
This beautifully written classic is a must read for anyone battling their own psychological demons, anyone in the mental health field, and everyone in need of an inspiring survivor story.
