Marta Márquez Calvet moved to the US in 2012 to pursue an undergraduate degree。 She is now an American citizen and subscribes proudly the principles and ideals of her new country。 However， when her American journey started， she experienced other kind of events that shaped her life forever。 Those ranged from armed threats to drug poisoning to physical abuse。。。 and to what almost became a campus shooting。 Seven years later， upon her return to Spain， her home country， she faced a reverse cultural shock， leading her to depression。

In this book， Marta talks about her own experience and aims to reduce the stigma around mental illness， promote mental health awareness， and empower others to share their own distress。

Marta hopes to encourage a more compassionate world for those struggling with mental health challenges。
