See what others are saying about the book...

"Finding Peace and Purpose Amidst the Tears by Debbie Zane is a poignant and deeply moving account of a mother's journey through the love and loss of her son, who battled mental illness and addiction. As someone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, I found this book to be both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Zane's writing is raw, honest, and powerful. She doesn't hold back as she shares the highs and lows of her son's life, the impact of his illness on their family, and the devastating grief that followed his death. Through her words, readers will feel the pain and anguish that comes with losing a child, but also the resilience and strength that is possible when faced with such tragedy.

One of the things I appreciated most about this book is Zane's ability to find purpose and meaning in the midst of her grief. She shares how she has used her son's story to raise awareness about mental illness and addiction, and to help others who are struggling with similar challenges. Her message of hope and healing is a powerful reminder that, even in the darkest of times, there is still light to be found.

Overall, Finding Peace and Purpose Amidst the Tears is a beautifully written and deeply moving memoir that will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss or struggles with mental illness or addiction. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for inspiration and hope in the face of tragedy."

“From the inception of this inspirational story, I have gotten to know Alex and been allowed to watch the loving relationship involving a mother and her son. Through her story, I feel that Alex was and forever will remain a light, not just in Debbie's world but to anyone who ever had the pleasure of knowing him.

I believe that we never indeed lose our loved ones, even to death. Debbie's unconditional love for Alex kept both of them strong, even in their weakest moments. I believe our loved ones never truly leave us, even after passing. They continue to contribute to our daily thoughts and the choices that we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories and hearts, just as this story will forever impact yours.”
