offer hope for other struggling families."

"I have spent a great deal of time speaking on the topic
of mental illness. For anyone else whose illness has divided their
family and who therefore struggle with shame and regret, the Gallagher
family story is very moving and encouraging. The book will help
people to not feel so alone."
Patty Duke Pearce, Academy Award winning actress and

"In
No More Secrets a courageous family share their
heartfelt stories of the devastation, impact and consequences of
the father's mysterious clinical depression, suicide attempt and
stigma-defying cover-up. Through healing, honesty and a passionate
dedication to helping others, they have become a profound and inspirational
example of the resilience of the human spirit. A must read!"
Iris Bolton, Author
of My Son...My Son... A Guide to Healing After Death, Loss or Suicide
There is an oft-quoted
statistic that for every person who is diagnosed with mental illness,
eleven loved ones are affected. The message of the Gallagher family
is empowerment — empowering those with mental illness to admit
their illness, seek treatment, become even greater contributing
members of society and obliterate this stigma. And helping other
families is a cause worth supporting!"
Joe Pantoliano, Founder - No Kidding, Me Too
Actor, Director - The Sopranos, The Matrix, The Fugitive, One Flew
Over the Cuckoo's Nest
"As a mother,
my life changed forever when my only son, Clark Taylor, committed
suicide. He was 33 years old and left behind a wife, their little
girl and his mother to wonder why. No More Secrets
offers understanding for how a “normal” family can be
torpedoed, when a mental illness tears a family apart. This book
is needed so families recognize that they are not alone in their
struggles. Hope and healing are what this book is all about."
Judy
Collins' Sanity & Grace: A Journey of Suicide, Survival, and
Strength
Singer and Songwriter
"Those suffering
with a brain illness and their families are the most discriminated
population in America due to the stigma of an uninformed public.
It is time to stand up and be heard."
Marianne Kernan, President, NAMI-Moore County, NC
