On March 11, 2001, seventeen-year-old Will ingested a near-fatal
dose of his antidepressant medication, an event that would forever
change his life and the lives of his family. In "Will's Choice,"
his mother, Gail Griffith, tells the story of her family's struggle
to renew Will's interest in life and to regain their equilibrium in
the aftermath.
Griffith intersperses her own finely wrought prose with dozens
of letters and journal entries from family and friends, including
many from Will himself. A memoir with a social conscience, "Will's
Choice" lays bare the social and political challenges that American
families face in combating this most mysterious and stigmatized of
illnesses. In Gail Griffith, depressed teens have found themselves
a formidable advocate, and in the evocative and fiercely compelling
narrative of "Will's Choice," we all discover the promise of a
second chance.
