وصف الناشر
On July 19, 2004, an amazing story, accompanied by incredible police camera video footage, broke across network and cable news programs. After a high-speed chase to the top of Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge in Green Bay, Wisconsin, a young woman stopped, stepped out of her car, walked to the edge of the bridge--and jumped. State trooper Les Boldt raced over, thrust out his hand, and in a miracle of timing and determination, snagged the woman's wrist as she started the plunge. Other officers ran to his aid, and they pulled the woman to safety while the on-dash police cam captured the action.
That woman on the edge was Tina Zahn, and in Why I Jumped she tells her story. In this gripping book, now available in paperback, Zahn gives readers a look at what led to such severe depression that suicide seemed the only answer. Readers won't be able to put down this powerful true story of crippling depression, dramatic rescue, and a return to hope.

The story is very similar to that of my past 43 years. I am recovering now from a failed suicidal attempt on November 5, 2015.
The writer is so correct in stating it isn't one or ever two things that take us over the brink...it is the constant churning of negative events and disappointments that seem to never sleep in our minds that take us past our breaking points.
Just being 5 months out from my injury I am at a place where I am so mad at God for all the events of my life. I'm mad and confused and hurt at the level of abandonment I feel.
Reading of your prayer warriors and their depth of dedication is awe inspiring! Maybe there is still room for hope.
