A personal narrative by Don Baker, which starts with one man's gloom but ends with firm and reassuring hope. His hospital admissions, his counseling, his withdrawal, his desire for a God who seemed absent, his fellow sufferers, his family - all are talked about with complete honesty and in a way with which the depressed person and those near him can identify. The message given Don Baker upon admission, "It may take time, but you'll get better," speaks through the pages of his story.
