Have you ever asked the question what was going on inside the mind of someone that committed suicide? This skillfully curated collection of short stories takes readers into the mind of the suicidal teenager, churchgoer, mother and more. They show us the painful reality that suicide knows no colors, genders or religions. It doesn't care how much money you make. Suicide is a reality for all types of people. These stories, some fictional and some true, show the common thread of pain that resonates through individuals who consider the act of taking their own lives. Atiya Robertson reveals the story of suicide from the perspective of the victim. She shows readers that when a person gets to the point at which taking their own life is a viable option, the decision can come down to a coin toss--a game of life and death. Every day, many people all over the country and world are choosing to end their lives. This book tells their story.

No matter how smart, no matter how kind, no matter how determined you are to walk through the world with courage and dignity, there are forces beyond your control that want to tear you down. Quick wit and keen intelligence are not worthy opponents for a battered human spirit. Despite how hard you have worked to improve your situation, you find yourself fighting the same battles over and over again. No matter how much you have accomplished, you find yourself asking, in the midst of sleepless nights, "What is it that leaves me feeling broken?" The answer is contained in that very question. Once you know that wholeness is the "it" you're looking for, you can begin connecting the dots between the brokenness of your present and the wholeness of your future. In The Guide to IT, author, speaker and counselor Atiya Robertson plots out a guide to recreating your life from the inside out. In her bold yet deeply sympathetic style, grounded by the confidence that comes from personal experience as well as study, Atiya shows you how to recharge your awareness of self to unlock the beautiful in your life. By the end of this journey, you will know how to confront fear and all of its many faces, and how to exchange it for faith that manifests itself organically as you move through life. The Guide to IT lays out a series of profound ten steps for life change. You will learn: How to collect the parts of yourself that become lost to other people (your parents, your first love, your best friend, your worst enemy, etc.) throughout the course of your life How to reclaim the pieces of yourself from situations you've surrendered to How to place these pieces perfectly together for a complete identity that is authentically you How to move forward in peace with others, salvaging the relationships that can still contribute value to your true self, and walking away in freedom from those that can't. How to properly love the person you truly are...so much that your top priority will be keeping the balanced and powerful you perfectly in place. No matter hard you may work to improve your circumstances, your ability to meaningfully connect to the world around you is determined by how much work you have done on yourself.
