Sarah's Diary: An Unflinchingly Honest Account of One Family's Struggle with Depression

by Sarah Griffin

'I was fourteen when I found my Dad trying to commit suicide in the garage. Sounds shocking doesn't it? But that was part of me, part of living with my Dad'Sarah's Diary is the very personal diary of Sarah Griffin - an ordinary teenage girl learning to deal with the ups and downs of family life. On the outside hers was like any other family, but behind closed doors lay a sad and lonely secret. Sarah's Dad had depression -- a condition we've all heard of but seldom discuss. Beautifully written, brutally honest, Sarah's story is compelling reading.

I found this book a lot like reading some of my old diary entries. Interesting, though not as focused on depression as the sub-title suggests, and good (I suppose) that the result emphasises that depression is a part of life and a part of family life, while everything carries on around it.
