Description
Raw Emotion. Life or Death. Truthfully Delivered.
Vicki was 28 when her neat world crumbled. Her moral compass--beloved Gramps--died suddenly, leaving Vicki depressed and insecure. Despite a series of poor choices in men and life, by 24, Vicki had built a career as a noted crime reporter, wife, and mother.
But success led to disaster. Vicki's perfect world crumbled with bitter family upheaval, leading to multiple suicide attempts. Now 38, Vicki lays her soul bare and shares the pivotal moments of her roller-coaster life: depression, grief, heartache, trauma, drugging, and suicide, truthfully, and candidly.
Her story is heartbreaking, inspiring, and unexpectedly witty.
Most of all, "Still Standing" is a remarkable story of resilience and survival --an honest portrayal of one woman's life and her determination for a new beginning.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a tough book to review. At some points I was asking myself what she was thinking when she made some dumb decisions. But other times I was definitely rooting for her and felt so sad she attempted suicide. Well written and honest, this is a Roller coaster of a story. I applaud her for spilling her Secrets and being honest about her naïvety.
