520    Channeling their own experiences, sixteen exceptional 
       authors subvert mental health stereotypes in a powerful 
       and uplifting collection of fiction.A teen activist 
       wrestles with protest-related anxiety and PTSD. A socially
       anxious vampire learns he has to save his town by (gulp) 
       working with people. As part of her teshuvah, a girl 
       writes letters to the ex-boyfriend she still loves, 
       revealing that her struggle with angry outbursts is 
       related to PMDD. A boy sheds uncontrollable tears but 
       finds that in doing so he's helping to enable another's 
       healing. In this inspiring, unflinching, and hope-filled 
       mixed-genre collection, sixteen diverse and notable 
       authors draw on their own lived experiences with mental 
       health conditions to create stunning works of fiction that
       will uplift and empower you, break your heart and stitch 
       it back together stronger than before. Through powerful 
       prose, verse, and graphics, the characters in this 
       anthology defy stereotypes as they remind readers that 
       living with a mental health condition doesn't mean that 
       you're defined by it. Each story is followed by a note 
       from its author to the reader, and comprehensive back 
       matter includes bios for the contributors as well as a 
       collection of relevant resources. With contributions by:
