After reading Marie's encounters, it gave hope to all MI. Coming from a family with MI and working with MI population, it reminded me of the purpose of my life's work. I think that the depiction of the struggle was accurate and can provide insight for family members of the MI. I recommended this book to a friend and she finished it in less than a week and had a hard time putting it down. It is a must read!
Enjoy the book that's now on DVD also!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marie Balter is an example for all who have mental illnesses. She was able to pick herself up with the support of friends and faith in herself and in God. Buy it for the ones who really need to hear that all is not lost, that they can survive and thrive even with a mental illness.
A book of hope!

I love how Marie describes her struggles with mental illness and how she finds the strength within herself to overcome her problems. She does this without blaming or resenting the people in her life who mistreated her, like her parents and the people in the hospital. She gives hope for the hopeless.
