Life and God were pre-defined for author Kristi Bowman while growing up in a small town as a Jehovah's Witness. While suffering from a suicidal depression as a young adult, she began the grueling process of piecing her life together in order to discover what lay beneath the misery. The Journey to One is her personal and honest story of the passage from depression to healing.
This memoir examines Bowman's depression, her family and family history, relationships with religion and God, and her own sexuality. It follows her life as a child in Littleton, Colorado, through her battle with depression and suicide. Journey to One discusses Bowman's disillusionment with the religion in which she was raised and the spiritual journey to find her life's purpose. Documenting the process as it occurred, her journey navigates through a time of atheism, to studying the world's major religions, to the sacred Toltec pyramids in Mexico, to the realm of quantum physics, to the yoga mat, and ultimately to finding her answer.
Journey to One speaks to the amazing capacity of human potential and is an inspiring and powerful testament that we can overcome adversity and live our dreams.

Journey to One: A Woman's Story of Emotional Healing and Spiritual Awakening
Chapter One
It is dusk. The lights remain off in the room. I hear the evening news muffled and distant. The anchorman is telling the story of the latest natural disaster, or perhaps the latest murder or serial rapist who is still on the loose. I hear him, but I am not really listening. I am concentrating, if you can call it that, only on the hundred different simultaneous thoughts swirling madly around in my head. I cannot pluck them apart and decipher them one by one, I can only feel the waste they emit piling higher and higher, burying me deeper and deeper.My heart pounds so ferociously that my whole body is shaking with each pulsation. The sound of blood pushing through my arteries is beating in my ears, as if it's trying to tell me something.
The floor is cold. Cement, with a coat of smoke-gray paint and a coat of wax over it. I sit with just my underwear and a thin gown to cover me. My back is pressed firmly against the large oak door, and my legs are folded up in front of me, hugged by my arms. I stare straight ahead until I understand the message my blood pounding through my body is trying to convey. It is a yearning, a yearning for freedom.
With this newfound understanding I am forced to rise, though only a little. On my hands and knees I stay close to the floor while I crawl toward the window on the opposite side of the room. Through this window what little light the dying day releases creeps in. The light is dim through the thick, metal screen, enough by which to see, but not well.
