Julie K Hersh

After leaving the business world to care for her two small children and her aging grandparents, Julie Hersh felt that she had evaporated into her surroundings, no longer sure of who she was. She became deeply depressed - badly enough to very nearly take her own life three times. Struck by Living is Hersh's harrowing but rewarding tale of this battle, of how she fought for her life through counseling, medication, and electroconvulsive therapy.
