In the book, "Escaping the Storm: How to discover true happiness and worth", Kim Ford shares her personal journey of escaping the self-hatred and darkness that has been such a consuming part of her life since being diagnosed with depression. Through personal journal entries, Kim reveals the despair, confusion, hopelessness, and immense anger she felt toward God as she endeavored to escape her individual storm. Using the analogy of a hurricane, she masterfully guides the reader through the different stages of storms in relation to depression, presenting insight and direction through the lessons she learned. Each chapter serves as a guide to escaping despair and hopelessness and provides opportunities through brainstorming activities to feel uplifted, enlightened, and regain, or gain for the first time, a sense of self-worth. Kim's beautiful spirit and remembrance of God's divine love brings the reader to a remembrance of their own importance in God's eyes.
