Afraid of the Light by Cynthia Ruchti

Book Description

She helps others manage their desperate lives--but who will help her? Clinical psychologist Camille Brooks isn't put off by the lifestyle of her hoarding clients. After all, she lost her mother to the crippling anxiety disorder. She'll go a long way to help others avoid the same pain and loss.

Despite Camille's expertise, her growing audience for her Let in the Light podcast, and the national recognition she's gaining for her creative coaching methods, there are some things she isn't prepared for. A client who looks far too much like her mom catches her off guard. And the revelation that she's also hoarding something sends her spinning.

Can she stand to let the light into her own life with the help of a friend who wants to stand by her for life and the God who created and loves her? Or will she find that defeating her demons proves too much to bear?
Afraid of the Light is an amazing novel that tackles the disorder of hoarding.  I wasn’t sure if I would like this book but after a couple of chapters, I absolutely loved it. Ms. Ruchti managed to shed light on this anxiety disorder by writing a touching story of people who are affected and also the family who love them.

This is a novel where you will take your time reading each and every word to make sure you understand what it takes for someone to get through this with the help of a professional.  It’s a very moving, insightful and well written novel. I highly recommend this book.  I received a copy from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
