"How absolutely fabulous is my reaction to this book. It captures not only Ann's unique journey, but incorporates every person's struggles with depression and his/her vignettes with medicationas well as the poignancy and complexity of the sorting-out process. The factual descriptions of use and side effects of medication make this a wonderful practical guide to those who read Out Of Focus...Again."     David A. Macdonald, PhD,  State College, PA

         "The books stunning description of the reality of depression is one of the most compelling I have encountered. What makes it extraordinary is the author's ability to describe and integrate the personal, familial and social context of her  illness. There are few other treatments as authentic or comprehensive."

"I just finished reading Out Of Focus...Again and am only able to say Wow!

The book is great, but Ann's accomplishments are even greater!

Like most, I would never have guessed that she suffered from depression.

It's like a natural disaster that can strike anyone, anywhere, anytime.

I am so happy that she is better now and that her life is so full of happiness again.

Her husband is just an awesome person!"

I invite you to browse through the various pages of the website where you will learn about my background as a writer and the impetus for my decision to write Out of Focus...Again. There are pages about depression, along with common questions and answers about the illness and, should you care to further explore, you can also read about the personal side of me...a bit about my hometown, family and my love of travel. 

I'm delighted you're here.
