'All I Have Left To Do Is Live!': Empowering Memoir Presents the Spiritual,
Uplifting Story of a Woman's Triumph Over Depression

ATLANTA, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Doris "Dee Dee" Walker knows all about
the joy and pain that come with living a complex life. For a long time life
was simple, until the day she realized that others looked to the sky and saw
clear blue skies. When Dee Dee looked up at the sky, she saw dark gray clouds.
In her new emotionally empowering memoir, "All I Have Left To Do Is Live!"
(published by AuthorHouse - http://www.authorhouse.com), Dee Dee shares the
story of her battle with depression as a young woman growing up in a small
town in Alabama. Spiritual, humorous, uplifting and inspiring, "All I Have
Left To Do Is Live!" revisits all the loneliness, fear and anxiety that led to
years of insecurity and failure until she finally broke down and sought help.
One day her gray clouds turned white, and Dee Dee saw the clear blue skies. It
was that day she realized how sweet and wonderful life could be.
As a teenager, Dee Dee was considered the life of the party. But those
carefree days were soon a distant memory after she moved on to college. She
felt fearful, hopeless, worthless and insecure. She was a constant worrier.
She worried about everything - living, growing old and dying young. She
graduated with a degree in social work, but this accomplishment did nothing
for her self-esteem. For years every job and relationship ended in failure,
and she didn't know why.
Dee Dee's message is that depression is real. It can be debilitating. "I
describe it like building an automobile," she writes.

You put in the engine, the ignition, the brakes, the tires, and
everything that is required, but for some reason it will not go;
something is missing. It has a steering wheel but you do not know how to
steer it in the direction you desire to go. That is what depression did
for me. It affected every aspect of my life. It even convinced me that my
family and loved ones cared very little for me.

"If you feel helpless, tired, or just feel like giving up; hopefully this
book will help you to get it together by getting help," Dee Dee writes. "There
are treatments that can help you to live a happier life. I pray God will send
someone to show you the way. With the help of God, all things are possible."
Doris "Dee Dee" Walker was born the fifth of six children in Ozark, Ala.
She is a graduate of Troy State University (now known as Troy University). Dee
Dee currently lives in Atlanta. "All I Have Left To Do Is Live!" is her first
book.
