“Dancing in the Dark provides a comprehensive presentation of material very useful for any one living with and/or caring for someone who is depressed. Well-written by authors who deeply understand this issue, their voices of experience are inviting and credible. Dancing in the Dark offers solid, current information on depression, meaningful quotations, and a thoughtful design that includes reflections and meditations – all of which are woven together with a spiritual foundation which offers support and a path to health for both the depressed individual and you, the person living with someone else’s depression. This is both an inspiring and practical book that can help you to find the balance between helping the depressed person and living and loving your own life.”
