Subtitled "Finding light in the Shadows of Depression", Treasures of Darkness is an easy, yet gripping, read that documents the rollercoaster ride that the author has travelled through her life. Once labelled a problem child by educators, she had to fight her way to proving her worth to a world that could neither understand nor accept her. Determined to succeed and prove wrong those who labelled her, she (ironically) dropped out of school to complete matric through correspondence and went on to study journalism. She also obtained a degree in English and Psychology.
