PRAISE FOR JOURNEY UNTOLD

“Journey Untold” is poignant, captivating, stirring - - a deeply emotional story of

a child’s journey with a mother who suf ered from mental illness. Ms. Hal has

opened the window of her soul and al ows us to experience the deep, personal

truths of everyday life with a parent who is mental y il . This is not an ordinary

story. Nothing prepares a young child for the twists, turns, volatility, triumphs

and defeats of watching a parent’s mind slowly disintegrate. Living in a smal

community many, like me, personally witnessed some of her experiences. Journey

Untold boldly exposes and confronts mental illness. It is page turning, twisted

with emotions, truthful and agonizing; but in the end, “every little thing is going to

be alright.” (Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds) - Julie S. Carr

It was very informative, touching and sad at the same time. I used to see your

mother al the time and I knew something was wrong. I always wondered why no

one would try to help her, like famiIy or friends. I have an aunt and a cousin in

Tortola who have the same disease. At the [book] reading my eyes were opened on

mental il ness and how to tel the dif erent signs and effects it has on people. You

are truly blessed and strong Yassin to grow up dealing with your mother’s il ness

and your family issues. I am proud of you that you wrote this book about your life

experiences to share with people and educate those of us who don't know about

schizophrenia. Love ya! - Dwayne Harley
