I Will Heal In Spite Of You

For her first collection of poetry, Faith Nickens dives into the harsh reality of living with untreated mental illness and how it can affect not just the person suffering, but everyone around them. In this collection, readers are taken through years of of the authors life dealing with mental illness before finally reaching the breaking point to start recovery. It is a deeply personal collection of over 50 poems detailing mental illness, love, anger and responsibility even in the face of a condition one can't control.
