Through the Unknowable: Family Life with Mental Illness, Alcohol, Loss, and Love

"I woke one morning with the conviction that I must write everything I remembered of the years of my daughter's adolescence, when depression wreaked havoc with her life. The fact that I had fully recovered from a suicide attempt in my youth, and that I made a living helping others do so, increased my empathy. This, however, didn't allow me to take away her suffering.""Putting pen to paper brought back events and feelings I dreaded, yet I was compelled to continue and examine every aspect of our family life during those years. Writing this book has given me peace, and I greet most new days with curiosity and a smile.""-"Margot Keane, M.D.
