ZERO! So excited to tell you FIRST BREAK IS NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON! So fresh the print image isn't there as I type yet, but then, you've seen the cover, right? https://tinyurl.com/y93dgazm Happy World Mental Health Day! Happy Book Birthday, First Break! Please share this post with anybody you think may be interested in this story that affects us all. Here's what a few of my favorite authors are saying about First Break. So grateful for your work, your words and your support, Deborah Halverson, Charlie Price, and Lois Sepahban. “A gripping journey to understanding that at once shakes you up and cradles you tight.” Deborah Halverson, Author of YA for Dummies "Jamie Weil’s novel FIRST BREAK accurately depicts a young woman dealing, or not dealing as is sometimes the case, with bipolar illness. The book chronicles the inexplicable shifts in Paige’s mental processes as her unacknowledged psychotic break begins to skew her reality and damage her ability to make a successful transition from home to freshman year college. As the illness progresses, Paige becomes unable to trust anyone who might help her and unable to understand or organize her own perceptions. She spirals increasingly out of control and drifts away from school far beyond the reach of her loving and desperately concerned mother. FIRST BREAK powerfully establishes its unique truth and Weil’s clear and graceful prose rivets us as we share Paige’s perilous adventures. Author Jamie Weil’s novel gives adults, young adults, and parents the gift of being simultaneously entertained and educated as we grow to understand the harrowing nature of bipolar illness and the steps necessary to manage it." ~ Charlie Price Winner of the 2011 Edgar for Best Young Adult Mystery and numerous award-winning YA novels. "Paige's experiences with mental illness are painful, honest, and raw. Hers is an important story for a society with a mental illness crisis among teens. When I started the book, my eyes were opened. By the time I finished it, my heart was opened, too." ~ Lois Sepahban Award-winning author of multiple nonfiction books and debut novel, Paper Wishes, Margaret Ferguson Books (FSG imprint). I am so excited to bring this story to you! I am so grateful to be on this journey called life with you. All Things That Matter Press, Deb McCollett Harris and Philip F. Harris, I love you guys!
