The Why of Me is a wrenching account of the author’s lifelong struggle with mental illness and alcohol addiction. Narrated with a surprisingly gentle tone, it details months and years of depression, suicide attempts, and treatment in various mental hospitals.
This quiet recollection of a wild psychological roller coaster gives the reader hope for escaping his or her own illness. At the age of 65, Dianne spends much time with her six grandchildren and as an advocate for mental health awareness.
