There is always light at the end of a dark tunnel. Special education teacher Barbara K. Mezera is a believer of this age-old adage, as evidenced in her book, “From Despair to Hope and Healing: One Woman’s Journey in Poem.”

The book contains poetry that highlights Barbara’s long struggle with clinical depression. According to her, the poems were written as a result of journaling while undergoing psychotherapy. She used writing as a medium for expressing sentiments that she couldn’t tell anyone. After one of her therapists encouraged her to bring her journal during their sessions, Barbara began to read out her thoughts. Through this, she began to heal.
