Perfect for you if...

You're a parent navigating a teen's mental health crisis and need to know you're not alone in this fight.
You've survived a suicide attempt yourself and want to read how one family moved forward without pretending the trauma disappeared.
You care about mental health advocacy and want to understand the systemic failures that leave American families unsupported.

Maybe not for you if...

You're currently in acute suicidal crisis and need immediate support rather than a narrative about survival.
You prefer memoirs that feel resolved and tidy; this one sits with the ongoing, messier reality of recovery.
You're looking for a medical or clinical guide to depression; this is a personal story, not a how-to manual.

About this book

On March 11, 2001, seventeen-year-old Will took a near-fatal overdose of his antidepressant medication, an event that transformed his life and his family's. In Will's Choice, his mother Gail Griffith recounts her family's effort to restore Will's will to live and to rebuild their own stability in the years following. Griffith combines her own prose with letters and journal entries from family members and friends, including Will himself. A memoir that addresses broader social issues, Will's Choice examines the social and political obstacles American families encounter when dealing with depression. Through Griffith's narrative and the perspectives of those close to Will, the book documents the family's path toward recovery and the possibility of moving forward.
