I'm Not OK, You're Not OK, But That's OK With God

Shelley Hussey shamelessly puts the "fun" back in dysfunctional in her book, I'm Not OK, You're Not OK, But That's OK With God: Finding the Humor and Healing in Life. I'm Not OK is a hybrid: equal parts self-help, memoir, humor, how-to, inspiration, and motivation. Readers will find it to be a refreshing take on dealing with the shame and blame that often accompanies mental illness - educating and entertaining, frequently in the same paragraph. The book is also a testament to the degree that love and laughter lighten the load of life. Both the author and her husband endured - and overcame - chronic emotional turmoil and mental meltdowns. The author's keen wit and humorous insights, combined with carefully notated substantial references and end-of-chapter words of encouragement, add to the take-away value of I'm Not OK. Take a happy pill - take Hussey's book home. You'll feel lighter in the morning.
