I think the writers are all gifted, not because of their illnesses or trials, but because of their response to trauma, their resolve, resilience, intellect, life experience, and their courage to share their voices in this collection. To stand up and say, we are here, we suffer but we are strong, we will survive. I appreciated the diversity, authenticity and quality of their work.
