Reviews

A mother and advocate for people with serious mental illness, Dede Ranahan's essay, A Canary in the Coal Mine, appearing in We Rise To Resist: Voices From A New Era In Women's Political Action delivers a succinct call for actions that will fix a currently fragmented and broken mental health treatment system. A must-read for everyone concerned about this issue. --Carla Jacobs, Past Board Member, NAMI National; Treatment of Mental Illness in the U.S. is Mom's job. Ranahan's personal, professional, and civic life exposes public policies that reject medical science and condemn our sick children. --Rose King, Co-Founder, Mental Illness FACTS, Political Consultant; A modern-day Dorothea Dix, guided by her broken heart, shatters silence by reporting the uncomfortable truth about the failed treatment of serious mental illness in America. This story makes you care about forgotten families. --Teresa Pasquini, Co-Founder, Mental Illness FACTS, Family and Consumer True Stories/Right 2 Treatment; After 9/11, Nikki Stern overcame tragedy to shine as a beacon of reason and hope. Now, as we wobble close to tyranny, Nikki and the other excellent writers in We Rise to Resist: Voices from a New Era in Women's Political Action collectively provide a way out. Resistance has many voices. Some of its most articulate advocates are gathered in this mighty collection. -- Lorraine Berry, contributing essayist, The Guardian; The Women's March [that inspired this book] has been called the largest, most spontaneous mass demonstration in U.S. history. My wife and I were delighted to march in the Nashville event and to feel the power of so many good-hearted people rallying for a better America. It was, and is, an inspiration. --Congressman Jim Cooper (D-TN, 5th District).
