Publisher's summary

An award-winning and best-selling memoir, An Impossible Life, tells the powerful true account of one woman's descent into depressive and manic episodes and how she found lifesaving therapy and medication to overcome and triumph.

When thirty-five-year-old Sonja Wasden is involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric hospital by her husband and father, she is sure it is a mistake. Wife of a CEO, mother of three, living in a beautiful suburb, Sonja's life appears ideal. How did she get here?

In this gripping and breathtaking narrative that makes the listener feel as though they are listening in on a private conversation, Sonja reveals her delusions and battles with mental illness. When all hope seems lost, this true story of perseverance is inspiring and unforgettable. Listeners will gain a greater understanding of people who struggle with mental health challenges.

An Impossible Life is a lighthouse of hope for those facing an all-consuming mental illness, either for themselves or for someone they love.
