In Home, Melanie's neighbor struggles with anxiety. Have you suffered from it? Your descriptions are quite familiar to me. By the way, I loved this book and have posted my review on Goodreads, my blog, Facebook, twitter, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other public websites.

Hi Sharon,
Thank you for connecting and thank you for posting reviews for Home. I'm grateful!
If I've suffered from anxiety, it is only in small doses. But perhaps, I've struggled enough to have an inkling of how debilitating an anxiety disorder can be and how it can impact one's life. In both my last novel, Flames, and now Home, I explored anxiety issues--panic attacks in Flames and OCD in Home. I have fought against symptoms of PTSD since childhood and there are links between PTSD and anxiety, certainly.
My prayer with each book I write is to offer hope to those who struggle.
