The Dark Place
A Candid Diary of a Youth Navigating Addiction, Depression, and Identity
by Arlowe Black

---

My dying wish was always to write this book. I wanted to be understood. I wanted my death to be understood. Every time I thought I was ready to end it and didn’t it was because my story was yet untold. The book wasn’t finished. My life and my death would mean nothing. So it kept me going. Of course when you initially plan to publish something only after you die you tend to write more truth. It’s deeper. You can say what you want to say without fear of unwanted exposure or embarrassment. The depth to this book is that of one written with the intent that no one would ever read it. Primarily based on journal entries, this is a memoir like no other. With unmatched authenticity, it is a must read for anyone struggling with addiction, depression, identity, or self harm.

Arlowe Black has always been a writer at heart, although music, animals and nature are other passions of hers. She wishes not too much be revealed about her identity at this point in time as she plans to publish future books that explain how everything continues to unfold in her life and where she finally ends up. More will be revealed.
