“My Mother’s Keeper” addressed the subject of mental health in the Black community head on. The honest depicts of her relationship with both of her parents and her siblings was deeply revealing. Her journey and the way she and her family dealt with the TABOO subject of MENTAL HEALTH displayed both the strengths and weaknesses of those involved. This book also spoke to me about forgiveness and taking responsibility. Hands down the Best book I’ve read this year! I highly recommend “My Mother’s Keeper” become required read for all Mental Health professionals!

This book will change the trajectory of how families discuss the evolution of another family
into the depths of mental illness. It was so insightful that I stayed up ‘til 2am
to finish it and boy was it worth it!

This book is a must read, Dr Williams did an outstanding job telling her story about her relationship with her mother and her family. The book has inspired me to look at my own relationship with my mother and family and how God has moved in all of our lives. I highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with taking care of a parent and wanting to find peace and understanding during this journey.

I didn't know what to think we I picked up this book. When I finished it, I was thinking of so many things. Would I put my life on hold to care for my mother. Or sister or brothers. Did our parents get the medical treatment they needed back then ? We looked at people with mental illness so differently. Dr. Sheila, thank you for sharing and making me look in the mirror. An excellent read from a remarkable woman.

As a mental health therapist, I highly recommend this book. The author, Dr.Sheila D.Williams, embodies the spirit of transparency, grace, and relentless love as she shares the story of many through the lived experience of her mother’s triumph and struggles with a mental illness. The candid nature In which Dr.Sheila presents her story is enlightening and relatable.

Thank you, Dr. Sheila D. Williams, for your sharing your family struggles. So many of our families have and continue to struggle with mental illness and it must be talked about. Thank you for writing this candid book. It educated and blessed me. Please do not stop writing, talking, and teaching about this issue. You open up dialogue in places you would never think about.
Sincerely,
Tanya Graham
