Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Turbulent Journey is is one of those must read books - informative, spiritual in it's message and heart-warming in the love and care required to support someone suffering from mental illness and/or addiction. Being part of generation Y, I have numerous friends who have mental illness and addictive problems, so this book opened my mind by providing me with a more homely insight into their ongoing problems and the family support required. This behind closed doors viewpoint is something other books rarely offer. I love the ending with the focus being on the misconceptions of mental health and the lack of community awareness. I highly recommend purchase of this book and believe you will be better for reading it.
