Book Review-Waking up, Alive – the Descent, the Suicide Attempt and the Return to Life by R A Heckler

The book reviewer comments that the beauty of this book lies in the ability of the author to outline with utmost clarity, the processes that suicide attempters experience in their dilemma. Using their words, “he allows us into & leads us through the gripping stories of their descents, attempts, & eventual returning to a will to live again.” The book is described as an open door to all who ask the eternal “whys” & who ponder the guilt-ridden “if onlys.”
