Am I Going To Be Okay? Weathering the Storms Of Mental Illness, Addiction and Grief by Debra Whittam is an uplifting and thought-provoking story about how children can be affected by growing up in dysfunctional families; how addiction and mental illnesses affect kids during their formative years; and how it can also affect their confidence and self esteem. The author's story and the valuable lessons she has shared will encourage readers to create a better and powerful life, and shows how everyone's success story lies within them. The book is an honest account of a woman's journey through grief, addiction, and mental illness.

The book is profound, inspirational, and motivational, and the author shows how everyone can let go of their fears and do whatever they want to do with their lives. It also helps readers understand the frustrating relationships in their lives. It teaches them to forgive, let go, and bring positive feelings into their lives instead of living on blaming and resentment. The book shows the impact childhood experiences can have in shaping one's psyche, which may end up in eating disorders, destructive behaviors, addictions, abuse, and co-dependence.

Many readers may have experienced what the author experienced and have not known how to get out of that space and back onto a positive track. The powerful message conveyed by the author is dynamic and her experiences and stories are tangible. Many readers will be able to connect with her life, experiences, and stories.
