THE BOOK
I Am Someone You Know: The Fight for Recovery and Mental Health is a raw, hard-punching literary memoir that takes its readers inside of a mind at war with itself. It’s an unforgettable journey through both the despair of untreated mental illness and addiction and the catharsis of redemption and prosperity. This story shows us that, even in the face of great pain and desperation, we can still find hope, love, and the courage to fight.
