My Mental Illness Recovery Story

IN SEARCH OF A BETTER TOMORROW: MY MENTAL ILLNESS RECOVERY SUCCESS STORY

This personal memoir is my life story of how God freed me from the chains of abuse, OCD, bipolar disorder, failures, and rejection. In Search of a Better Tomorrow is of the everyday struggle to muster the daily courage and perseverance to face Life Mountains and personal giants. It is about faith in the beauty of God’s unknown dreams; in the end, it is about how God can use an ordinary disabled person to possibly create great change in this world.
