2014-02-19 01:35:13| Powells Books Events Calendar
As a young girl in Bangalore, Gayathri Ramprasad was surrounded by the fragrance of jasmine and flickering oil lamps. But as she grew older, demons came forth from the dark corners of her fairy tale—like kingdom — with the scariest creatures lurking "within her." In her beautifully written memoir, Shadows in the Sun (Hazelden), Ramprasad recounts her courageous 30-year battle with the depression that consumed her from adolescence through marriage and a move to the United States. Her inspiring story provides a first-of-its-kind cross-cultural lens to mental illness — and the way she drew on both her rich Hindu heritage and Western medicine to find healing.
