Eleanor's story is one that is hard to read at times due to the subject content. However, it must be heard by all. Reading this book put my mental wellbeing into perspective as Eleanor shows tremendous bravery in discussing her story in an attempt to break down the stigma attached to mental illness. This memoir is a real eye-opener to anyone unsure of how serious mental illness can impact daily life or how to offer help to someone. The book educates readers as well as providing hope and optimism despite having to go through dark times before the light finds its way through. We must embrace the voices of Eleanor so that we all may learn something and develop more knowledge and awareness of how we can offer support to one another. Thank you, Eleanor, for sharing your light through this poignant book. May you continue to shine in your advocacy and determination to make the world a better place.
