TELL SOMEONE Tuesday: A Guest Post from Author Madeline Sharples

For today's 'Tell Someone' segment, I'm thrilled to have author Madeline Sharples join us. She has written a powerful new memoir called, "Leaving the Hall Light On" detailing dealing with her adult son's bipolar disorder and losing him after he committed suicide.

This is not an easy read but, I think, one that needs to be told, shared and embraced. Madeline shows us how important it is not only to understand this disorder but also how vital it is to get these people the help they need and why they need to maintain therapy. She also talks about the difficulty in helping someone you love living with this disorder who is an adult. When do we step in? How can we make an adult stay on their therapy track?

Madeline joins us today as her first stop on her Book Blog Tour with WOW-womenonwriting and I'm thrilled. First we'll have Madeline share her thoughts with us, then we'll share some information about her amazing book.
