Overcoming
About This Book
Natasha Ickes-Saman was a girl who loved ice skating, books and music, but even early on she felt out of step with the people around her. Depression, a sense of being abandoned and very low self-esteem followed her through childhood. At nine, she stood holding a knife against her wrist, thinking about ending her life. By seventeen she was pregnant and had dropped out of high school.
The years after that brought drugs and homelessness on the violent streets of Oakland. She credits her survival to her faith in God, her intuition and a deep wish to change. Then one day she found a secret that altered the course of her life.
Overcoming is her memoir, tracing her path from a depressed child to a suicidal teenager to a successful businesswoman. It describes how she worked her way through chronic depression, addiction and the struggles inside her own mind, and it takes in love and pain, tragedy and triumph, setbacks and wins along the way.
The book is written for women who deal with depression, feel stuck or unfulfilled, or have never felt like enough. It encourages readers to stop standing in their own way and to look for peace, power and joy in their own lives.
