What Books Have Gotten You Through A Hard Time In Your Life?

A really good book can have healing powers.

Sometimes, when it seems like nothing in life is going right, snuggling up with a good book can start to help.

Whether you're dealing with depression, grief, or a broken heart, or anything that's affected your mental health, immersing yourself in a relatable story has gotten you through some pretty rough times.

There might be a collection of short stories or poetry that helped you see the light during a long depressive episode.

Or maybe there's a classic novel that gave you hope when you were grieving the loss of a loved one.

Maybe reading Harry Potter always soothed you when you were feeling super anxious.

Or perhaps you read Wild by Cheryl Strayed, and you were inspired by her brave story or related to her struggle after suffering your own trauma.

Through everything, books have been there for us. Tell us about the book that helped you through a hard time in your life in the DropBox below.
