The Roaring Silence<\/strong> is a book about suicide awareness, comprising contributions from 79 artists, writers, poets, and a few professionals from all generations and backgrounds, and from throughout the country who collectively communicate the message that life is both dark and bright and that none of us is immune from times of shadow.<\/p>\n

As editor Amelia Harris<\/strong> remarks in her introduction; \u201cIn putting this together I\u2019ve realised how much everyone is affected by suicide. Even normal everyday people like my parents have been affected by suicide at some stage in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Roaring Silence<\/strong> is essential reading. In its diversity and creativity it is enlightening and empowering, challenging and reassuring and a great read.<\/span><\/p>\n
