When Depression is Silent (ePub)

The little girl living in the white house with the fence grows into an adult surrounded by a fence of violence, crime, and shame.

Undetected and denied diagnosis

A young girl growing up in a middle-class family appearing to have all things she needed in the eyes of others, but behind the walls of her mind lived depravity, isolation, and the lack of love and affection. Julia's parents failed to recognize the depression growing up with their little girl. Julia isolated herself from others which would linger on into her adulthood and depression that was kept silent. The undetected diagnosis sends her down the road to destruction with relationships and finally into a life of crime.

Purpose of the pain destroys the promise

Looking for love develops a false reality of love, abuse, violence, and deceptive behaviors that would place Julia in prison and a life of depression and suicidal issues. With each trial she encounters, she becomes closer to experiences that could ultimately destroy her and her children. A woman surrounded by so-called friends would wake up abandoned, incarcerated with strangers, and a long list of broken promises.

Blessed results

In the midst of threats of deceitfulness, depression, and sorrow, Julia is able to share the results of faithfulness, blessings, and commitment for changing her lifestyle and overcoming obstacles associated with the labeled consequences society attached to her for the remainder of her life. Due to hard work, finding a place of faith and honesty helped her make it through the process to stay in the race of life, seeing things from a different perspective. God stepped in several times to rescue her when she threw in the towel and could not see a way out.
