FRAGMENTS OF HOPE AUTHOR, DEBORAH ANN HURLEY HELPS 19 MILLION AFFECTED BY DEPRESSION RECLAIM THEIR LIVES

(St.James, NY - April, 2007) Battling major depression for over twelve years, first time author, Deborah Ann Hurley bares her soul and holds nothing back in her February 2007 release, Fragments of Hope.

"OUTSTANDING, MOVING, IT READ LIKE A SUSPENSE NOVEL, POWERFUL, COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN," are just a few words that have been used to describe Fragments of Hope.

"I wanted to give depression a voice." claims Hurley, a married mother of two from Saint James, New York. "I was tired of reading books on depression that were written by doctors and celebrities because none of them seemed to help. I longed to read something real, that was written by someone who was just like me."

"My book is designed to expose the painful truth about major depression and to offer those suffering tremendous hope during a very dark time in their lives."

Hurley's book provides inspiration to women, in particular who are trying to maintain loving marriages and raise their children to be emotionally stable while dealing with this all-consuming condition.

Fragments of Hope is a MUST read which leaves readers with a much better understanding of the depths of major depression.

"It is because of my dark journey that I have become the person I am today," admits Hurley. "But, I wouldn't trade that experience for anything in the world."

"Children need their mothers and my goal is to help guide moms back to their families by saying I have been there, I survived and you can too."
