In 'Suicide Notes,' Michael Thomas Ford takes us through the unexpected journey of fifteen-year-old Jeff, who finds himself in a psychiatric ward on New Year’s Day. Insisting he’s just fine, Jeff cannot fathom why he’s placed among patients he considers far more disturbed. Armed with sarcasm and a defiant disposition, he's certain that the next forty-five days are nothing more than a gross misunderstanding. But as Jeff's stay progresses, the lines between 'normal' and 'crazy' begin to blur. He forms unlikely friendships, confronts uncomfortable truths, and navigates the rocky road of mental health, all while discovering that the other patients aren’t so different from himself. With honesty and wit, 'Suicide Notes' peels back the layers of teenage struggles, revealing the complex realities of coming of age, mental illness, and self-acceptance.
