- If you have a loved one dealing with depression—this book will help you understand.
- If you are a mental health professional—you now have a new tool to encourage your clients.

Along with the humor, Chonda Pierce shares practical insight, biblical teaching, emotional support, and sympathetic concern. Whether you’ve experienced depression in your own life or in the life of someone you love, this friend has something to offer you: help, hope and, believe it or not, plenty of laughter.
