Amy Leigh McCorkle is a special author whose "Letters to Daniel" is an uncompromisingly brave, well-written and sometimes disquieting tome detailing - through letters to a favorite actor - her very personal struggles with bi-polar disorder. This explosive volume is thought-provoking, always engaging and ultimately optimistic and humbling. A page-turning, extraordinary work from an author on the verge." - Joel Eisenberg, author "The Chronicles of Ara" "Letters to Daniel provides an engaging point of view on a personal story that is at once distinctive and familiar, relatable enough to make a valuable contribution to larger conversations about mental health and what a person needs to survive."-L. Andrew Cooper, Ph.D., novelist, film critic
