Bbecca_marie's Reviews > While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence

Thank you so much Celadon Books for my advanced copy and the chance to review it honestly.

While You Were Out is an intimate and heartfelt story about mental illness. Meg Kissinger shares her family’s struggles and experience and it’s heartbreaking to say the least. I felt so many emotions reading her story and it’s a very eye opening tale. As a society we still have a long way to go with how we talk about mental illness but it is getting better and that leaves me hopeful. If you or someone you know struggles with it, this is a good book to read. It is a sad story but it also shows you there is hope and there are better days.

Happy reading!
