Author Visit With Evonne Agnello

With
sensitivity, Evonne explores mental illness from both sides--within the
mind of the sufferer and of those watching the one suffering--and sends
hope for all. Shaking Shame from Mental Illness shows
that depression is highly treatable and manageable and need not poison
your life. One can emerge from the depths of despair and find reasons to
dance in the sun.
