Phyllis Hyman (July 6, 1949 - June 30, 1995)
A superb singing talent and Tony-nominated actress, took her own life by drug overdose on June 30, 1995. While incredibly beautiful and gifted, those close to Ms. Hyman, and those not so close, knew that she battled mental illness and subsequent drug abuse for years.
However, no one has bothered to honor her life and legacy, as well as, shed light on the serious issues of mental illness (in particular, bi-polar disorder), as Jason A. Michael has in this book. Mr. Michael tells the story - no holds barred.
Mental illness is real and affects everyone. This book is a must read, especially for African Americans.
Own it today!
Peace and blessings,
Dot

Another recommendation - Bebe Moore Campbell's "72 Hour Hold." The late, great Ms. Campbell wrote a semi-autobiographical account of her daughter's struggle with mental illness (bipolar disorder).
