As an early reader, Caroline Cooper recalls always having a book in hand then found comfort, peace, and joy in music. Later, she realized that she used both to cope with the trauma she experienced. She discloses that she had developed an unhealthy fantasy life (thought life) that was not God-pleasing. One pivotal point in life was at the age of 10 in Northwest Missouri. Another was in adulthood as a wife and mother who did not understand the struggles with depression and anxiety. God intervened and told her it was time for a change. Healing began, and she worked through her issues that included how her family experienced during her years of recovery.
