The Crazy Bookworm: Books, Mental Health and Me

There is light if you look hard enough…

On a November morning in 2015, the life of a forty something woman with a loving family and wonderful friends changes completely. Struggling to carry out simple everyday tasks and unable to leave the house, she is diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. As she searches for answers, she turns to the one thing that brings her comfort and hope: books.

This is the true story of how Becky Powell came through one of the most challenging times in her life and ultimately prevailed over a mental illness that threatened to overcome her. An incredibly brave and moving book written with honesty and humour, her story is a beacon of light not only for mental health sufferers but for anyone who has lost their way in life.
