Ocean Currents

Ocean Currents follows the tumultuous ebbs and flows of Rousselot's struggles and triumphs living with mental illness. Rousselot doesn't pull any punches; her writing is raw, vulnerable, and leaves the reader rattled. Rousselot uses vivid imagery and unexpected parallels to imbue Ocean Currents with a relatable voice while tackling deeply personal topics. Ocean Currents invites the reader into Rousselot's inner world, but it also invites the reader to examine their own relationship with the self. From Samantha Fain, author of Coughing Up Planets: (Rousselot) tackles mental illness incisively, showing how vulnerability can be both a triumph and an act of violence. Ocean Currents draws the reader in, and then leaves them on the shore soaked and sun kissed.
