I’ll Run Till the Sun Goes Down: A Memoir About Depression and Discovering Art

The riveting true story of a young man’s battle with mental illness

David Sandum appeared to have it all: a beautiful family and a promising career ahead as a business consultant. But his life started veering off course, and just before returning to his native Scandinavia, he fell into an inexplicable, deep depression.

I’ll Run Till the Sun Goes Down is a searingly honest account of David’s struggle to overcome his crippling mental illness. After years of hopeless despair, bleak hospitalizations, and shattered dreams, he is finally saved by his art. The paintbrush becomes his lifeline.

Filled with the work of the masters who have inspired him as well as samples of his own drawings and paintings, this memoir offers both a compelling read and a visual story of David’s courageous battle with depression.
