It addresses the stigma among Latter-day Saints that mental illness is due to sin or character weakness. This book erases the blame and shame that has existed for decades surrounding mental illness. the good news is that mental illness is biological it is a disease, it is treatable, and most of the time, treatment works. Mental illness can affect us regardless of our status. Many thanks to the authors for bringing these stories of real life, real illness, to all of us. There is nothing quite so comforting as to know that we are not alone and we are not to blame.-Vicki CottrellExecutive Director, National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (Utah)Benefits will come from these readings both to those who suffer from mental illness and to those who love them.
