Their book offers resources and insights to empower you to be more enlightened, informed, and better equipped to cope. What the Blues Is All About serves as a torch to illuminate the often treacherous path as we make our way out of the depth of depression and back to wholeness."--Debrena Jackson Gandy, author of Sacred Pampering Principles Black women suffer from "the blues" in surprising numbers...but too often, they don't receive the proper diagnosis and care, and wind up blaming themselves.
