I appreciate the book review on WHAT’S ON MY MIND, Vol. I, Revised Edition from Canada. I’m glad my recovery story is changing perspectives and reducing the stigma of mental health conditions.

Do continue to support me by purchasing a copy and leaving a book review. My Amazon Author page is www.amazon.com/author/smithashley
