Haig writes into words the despair of depression, followed by the persistence of hope, all with a main character whose wit and humor shows through even at her most despairing. In his philosophical approach to finding a will to live, Haig does not fall prey to the quick fix cure of "just try to be happy," but instead walks a delicate line of balancing situational depression and mindful changes in perspective.
