Bethanne Patrick has long been a hero in the literary world-a tireless supporter of writers and writing. Now she has given us this brave, elegant work. It's so good. Radical truth. -Luis Alberto Urrea, author of The House of Broken Angels Insightful, honest, and ultimately life-affirming, Life B shines a light on a secret life many experience in shame and silence, and shows that it's never too late to take those first steps toward healing. Bethanne Patrick's perseverance in getting a correct diagnosis and treatment at midlife gives hope to everyone who has ever wondered if life will get better. --Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone In Life B, Bethanne Patrick takes readers on a harrowing journey to the cliff edge of suicidal despair, so that they might stare into the abyss of depression and better understand this debilitating condition. Not since William Styron's Darkness Visible has there been so enlightening a book on mental illness. Fearless, generous, fascinating. --Adrienne Brodeur, author of Wild Game
