The Customer-Driven Playbook

"I'm sorry, Luke. I'm sorry for many things, but everything that I am sorry for begins with my selfishness and for that, I cannot forgive myself. I guess, what it really comes down to is this...I refuse to kill him. I won't even fight him. No matter how angry I am at him for abandoning us, I still care about him. I have to let go of my hatred, it didn't work. I have to drop self pitying. Clearly that didn't work. I must rebuild and even though it hurts to remember, I refuse to quit now. I will continue. I will find him. For your sake, mine, and the rest of the human world's. Too much rests on this one man's shoulders."With the winter quickly settling in, Jaymie Winters finds herself stuck, not knowing whether or not she can trust her feelings that are getting the best of her. With James now hitting the bottle, Elizabeth going into labor, losing nearly all of her friends, one she may have sentenced to death unknowingly, Jaymie has a lot on her plate. On top of that, she has to track down the one who has disappeared while trying not to get eaten by vampires and the like. Can Jaymie survive the long journey out of the country to bring back everyone's last hope or will she fall victim to the many elements standing in her way? It's not easy surviving in a blizzard under dressed and now, she has to worry about the excruciating pain that will come from within? Even if she finds him, Jaymie knows she can still die, still having yet to transform. Is all of this worth risking being destroyed from the inside out, suffering in agonizing pain alone?"What is up with these nightmares!"

Converting Customer Feedback into Successful Products

This book is not pleasant. Nor is it simple, relaxing, easy, or fun. Because life with mental illness is none of those things. It is painful, complex, and challenging. But it's also other things. Inspiring. Beautiful. Meaningful. And most of all, important. Life in those experiencing mental illness is important. For all of us. There are hundreds of books on mental illness. The super optimistic ones that totally lie about everything. The ones that read like a medical undergrad's essay. Ones that claim to teach the catch-all, miraculous cure based only on what you believe. The book in your hands is none of those. This is the story of life with mental illness. No holds barred. No sugar coating. No fluff. No crazy-sounding fake solutions. Just the world through the eyes of someone living with mental illness.
