Rattled Awake Volume 11: The Mental Health Issue

These are not all sad stories - oh no, far from it! Within these pages, tough topics are spoken of with refreshing candor, and solutions offered that may surprise you.

We came together to create a diverse book with one objective in mind: mental health and well-being. Each writer brings a new perspective, from 15 year old Brady finding his tribe at Nerdcore, to 'The Mighty One' a hard rock band whose song about suicide, "Kickin' Stones," has become their latest album's top track, to the senior citizens whose lives have taken a turn for the better, or the worse, as the case may be.

The honesty, transparency and vulnerability of their stories, along with their passion to reach you, move you, and yes, HELP you, are evident in every heartfelt story.
