'Beyond the Storms,
Reflections on Personal Recovery in Devon'

Devon Partnership Trust recently published this collection of stories of personal recovery from mental illness, 

It contains 30 stories and poems from 26 contributors and was edited by Laurie Davidson and Linden Lynn.

As it says in the introduction, "Rediscovering Ourselves with Recovery Stories":

"Recovery story telling is not easy.
These stories are a tribute to the courage and resilience of their authors. People have shared with us their reflections, as they move towards self knowledge and wellbeing. The masks have gone; new voices speak. There is here a fusion of emotion and reason, which carries honesty and hope."
