Soon she finds herself in the psychiatric ward, suffering from depression, mania, and psychosis. Stunned by the grimness of her new reality, she struggles to reconcile her insanity with her faith. For the next eight years, Katie seeks balance though medications and therapy. Sometimes, she feels as if she's fully functioning. At other times she wonders if she's beyond a miraculous healing apart from medication. Once she hears a televangelist speak of the power of healing through faith alone, she takes a leap of blind faith to heal herself. Her hopes quickly fade as she wihdraws from her medications. This new reality leaves her dangling in a dream-like state of confusion, and this time she is hospitalized for months. Through some tough life lessons and remarkable encounters, Katie realizes healing comes by the grace of God along with medication.-- Adapted from back cover
