Adrift: Poems & Musings

is a collection of poems which chronicles the author's rapid descent into clinical depression, and her slow but steady and triumphant climb through acceptance and peace into serenity and contentment. A lighthouse, on the shores of Charlevoix's Lake Michigan beach, is her beacon in the night. "Diane Marie-Louise presents the reader and hearer with words that rouble the sould and stir the heart. Her works are blunt reminders that out of suffering, alienation, and even personal horror, there is a beacon of hope - though it may be on a craggy rock in the midst of thick fog upon an endless sea." - The Publisher
