Suicide, a taboo subject, delivered with an introspective viewpoint. This true story of a woman who has felt the throngs of the deepest lows and come through to the other side with healing and renewal. Destined to Live by Yolanda Shanks is a down to earth look at suicide and the negative thoughts that many of us have had at some point that can lead to suicidal thoughts or suicide.

She probes the questions we all ask. Who Am I? Why are we here? Who is God? Yolanda has looked at herself with a magnifying glass and shared what she found in words – revealing herself in a way that takes courage. She is a Christian who shares her beliefs and why they were and are so vital to her personal growth.

I especially liked the fact that Yolanda donates $1 for each copy sold to the American Association of Suicidology’s (AAS) One Million Voices Campaign. If you believe that someone close to you is contemplating suicide, has ever contemplated or, if you have any questions about someone who has gone through it, this book is a must read.
