Author Denny Meek shares her memoir ‘Still Standing’ – a story of survival.
After the crushing loss of an infant son in her mid-twenties, Denny Meek's counsellor suggests she keep a ‘Feelings’ diary. The journal excerpts she shares throughout her story articulate her inner journey through domestic violence, single parenting, her daughter’s anorexia, and teen suicide.
With a degree in psychology, a diploma in journalism, and a determination to survive for whichever of her children are left in her care, this heartbreaking yet hopeful book is Denny’s meaning-making journey; the light pulling her through a long ‘dark night of the soul’.
Readers will identify with Denny’s courage and candour as she questions self and society. The strength and sincerity of her spiritual yearning will hearten and inspire as she shows with soul-searching honesty through the depths of her heartbreaks how she’s Still Standing.
