“It is impossible to read this collection without a moist eye, an overwhelming anger at the cruelty of brain diseases, exasperation at society’s failure to help, and a deep admiration for the undaunted spirit of those who speak out and advocate for their fellow travelers on such a difficult path.”
- Pete Earley, author of A Father’s Search Through America’s Mental Health Madness, finalist for the 2007 Pulitzer Prize
