Flora McDonnell has been haunted by depression since childhood. One of the things she has always found comforting, even in the midst of the illness, has been reading and listening to the thoughts of fellow sufferers. "Threads of Hope" is a collection of her favourite writings by people from all walks of life, the famous and the non-famous - social workers, farmers and dukes; poets, politicians and the unemployed - who share their experiences and offer insights into what made a difference for them. "Threads of Hope" is for anyone whose life has been touched by depression; either to read through and linger over, or just to dip into when the moment is right.
