Excellent story of a family, and of the dangers of keeping secrets, and of our country's need to provide thoughtful and comprehensive resources for those struggling with mental illness and the people who love them.
This was hard to read. I can't even imagine how much harder it was for this family to relive these moments as Meg researched and wrote this.
For anyone who has suffered with mental illness or know those who have, this would be worth reading. This family went through so much, before getting help was considered an option, but at the end of it all they had each...and hope.
I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
