Praise For A Bitter Pill to Swallow

Praise For A Bitter Pill to Swallow“TIFFANY GHOLAR’S DEBUT NOVEL is a gripping narrative set in a world of multigenerational characters fighting for truth, integrity and wholeness. A Bitter Pill is a welcome departure from sensationalized portraits of the worlds of troubled youth and the psychiatric facilities which house them, and is a must-read for teens and adults who yearn for timely messages underneath entertaining fiction.”

—Kalisha Buckhanon, author of Upstate and winner of the ALEX Award

“In this smart, layered story about life in a school for troubled teens, the characters learn to embrace recovery and ultimately, one another. Tiffany Gholar writes with a sure hand, offering insight into the harm done by misdiagnoses and over-prescribed medications, versus mental health care options carrying compassion and encouragement at their core. This well-written, informative book offers an important glimpse inside the recovery process that any teen (or parent of a teen) would not only enjoy, but also benefit from reading.”

—Cal Armistead, author of Being Henry David
