REVIEWS

We are often shaped by the crucibles in our lives. When we transform our wounds

into sources of power, we realize our resilience. The stories in this book demonstrate

powerful healing over and over again. Well done Deana and storytellers.

Dr. Sally Spencer Thomas, Men's Mental Health Advocate

Vulnerability doesn't exactly line up with the tendency to 'tough it out.' Real

stories about real people living with mental illness remind us that talking about

mental health isn't a sign of weakness... it's a show of strength.
