Quotations “Excruciatingly honest….After they dry their tears, parents will come away from this book wanting to hug their teens more. Hopefully, teens who have read his book will be more willing to let them.” –The Capital Times (Madison, WI) “[Brent] isn’t spared the sight of the pain felt by his family and friends, as he would have been had he died. In accepting the burden of the anguish he caused them, he finds healing and a new depth to his relationships.” – Karyn Saemann, The Capital Times

Big Questions “How many suicide attempts are there per year?” “What is the most common age for suicide attempts?” “How can we get people diagnosed with depression to communicate better with us?”
