Although Annette has spent most of her life working with emotionally challenged people, she has chosen to write about her own life. This book is about her unique heritage, childhood and adult life. It portrays her deep secrets she did not trust with her colleagues. She had many of the same problems her clients battled. The victory came because of a supernatural light that shown brightly in her life. Endorsement: Annette Johnston gripped my heart through her book Light Devoured the Darkness.
