Customer Reviews

An endearing look into the world of mental illness.

This book not only made me think about what the people in the book have to struggle with but also made me think about what it would be like to have a mental illness and deal with the challenges that come with it. I found this book very powerful and recommend it for anyone as it not only addresses people with mental illness but actually people in general and what some understanding and compassion can do to enhance not only the life of the person receiving it but your own as well. I found myself thinking about the photos and stories in it long after I first read it.

A powerful, moving book by a top photographer

I loved this book! It's a great collection of visually compelling and moving photo's. I've followed Marc Hauser's work for a few years and I think these photos represent some of his best work. He really brings out each subjects unique personality and gives you an insight into their lives. He's a true artist. When I looked through this book, I wanted to cut out and frame each photo. The text written by Alisa Hauser is also wonderful. The fact that Marc and Alisa are cousins who never met until they worked on this book gives the book and added emotinal dimension. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who admires fine photography.
