"Becoming Oliva" Life Saving Fiction

First thing, if you hover your cursor over the book cover on the shelf above it will say that this is book three in a series- Don't let that stop you from reading this! I didn't even realize it WAS part of series until after I read it. The author gave us this title and we don't have the first two in the series. Having said that,"Becoming Oliva" is one of those books that stays with you and touches you on so many levels . "Olivia “Libby” Marsden has the perfect life...good kids, a wonderful husband, and a strong Christian faith. Why then is she increasingly depressed?" The storyline follows Oliva through her battle with ever deepening depression while trying to hide it from everyone in her life. We get to see how it effects her and her family. Written with excellence in a way that only one who has faced the battle herself can. The author has been told more than once that "Your book literally saved my life". It gives hope to those afflicted and insight to friends and family members of those struggling. I highly recommend it. Review by Libby S.
