Critical Praise

"Jamison brings us face to face with the suicidal mind in a manner so intense and penetrating that, paradoxically, the immersion in despair she offers is a source of great pleasure."

——Washington Post Book World

"This powerful book will change people's lives--and, doubtless, save a few."

——Newsday

"Jamison writes with authority, clarity and clinical reserve--. Powerful as her medicine is, her poetic accounting of this dark death is more affecting still."

——Baltimore Sun
