In Ginger Zee's follow-up to the bestselling Natural Disaster, the
ABC chief meteorologist takes readers on a much deeper journey of self
discovery.
When Ginger Zee opened her life to readers in Natural Disaster, the
response was enormous. She put a very relatable if surprising face on
depression and has helped lessen the stigma surrounding mental health
issues. But Ginger tells us, Natural Disaster was "Ginger Lite" and
only scratched the surface.
In this moving follow-up, Ginger shares her truest self. She spent most
of her life shielding her vulnerabilities from the world all while being
a professional people pleaser. Her stormy childhood, her ongoing
struggles with crippling depression, her suicide attempts, and many
other life experiences will resonate with readers who are likely to see
themselves along the way.
In spite of its serious subject matter, Ginger's positive,
life-affirming outlook comes through loud and clear. Written with great
heart and quite a bit of humor, Ginger normalizes issues and challenges
millions of people face every day. A Little Closer to Home will
broaden the conversation around mental health at a time we need it more
than ever.
