When my fifteen-year-old daughter lost her battle with depression and took her life, I read everything I could find about suicide. But what I wanted most were real stories from people who had experienced this horrific pain and lived through it. Eventually, I wrote my own stories. You can read some of them on the "Selected Essays" page. In the Fall of 2023 my book, a collection of linked narrative essays will be published by Apprentice House Press.
