Mary Widdifield will sign

Mary Widdifield will sign Behind the Wall ($16.95).  When Elin Widdifield learned her son’s mental illness diagnosis, she and her sister, Mary Widdifield, recognized that stories about the parenting experience had not been told. Though Elin is professionally trained in psychology and has years of experience treating families and individuals, she became acutely aware that living with a person who has mental illness is quite distinct from treating that person. Each remarkably candid story in Behind the Wall highlights parents’ shared experience; the first signs of disorder, the search for proper diagnosis and treatment, and the coping mechanisms families are forced to acquire. Through each story and each parent’s journey, readers will gain insight into how these parents moved through grief, guilt, hope, and recovery. The book also provides a valuable resource for mental health professionals, raising a deeper awareness of the condition they’re treating.
