    Rachael Siddoway and Sonja Wasden

    An Impossible Life: A True Story of Hope and Mental Illness

    When thirty-five-year-old Sonja Wasden is involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric hospital by her husband and father, she is certain it must be a mistake. Wife of a CEO, mother of three, and living in a beautiful suburb, Sonja's life appears ideal. How did she get here?

    In this gripping and deeply personal narrative, Sonja reveals her delusions and battles with mental illness, making the reader feel as though they are listening in on a private conversation. When all hope seems lost, her true story of perseverance becomes both inspiring and unforgettable.
