Will's Choice

As if you couldn't tell, I have been on a non-fiction kick. This is a book that all parents of teens and pre-teens should read. This is a mother's story about her son who has been suffering from deep depression. Just when Will seems to be getting better and appears happier he takes an overdose of pills. He doesn't want to die, he just doesn't want to live with the pain. I cried through the first chapter of this book, but after that it gave a lot of insight into how a child who is deeply depressed feels. After reading this book, I talked with my daughter and she opened up about a time in her life when she was overwhelmed with depression. I had no idea. I am thankful that I read this book.
