Reviews
Melody knows whereof she speaks. The mother of two children who both had early onset of complicated mental illness, she tells the story of their family with humour and humility. Her vulnerability and authenticity reassure the reader who is struggling with similar issues, and promotes understanding and empathy in those who aren't walking that road themselves but may know someone who is. As a care provider herself, she has the knowledge base to provide accurate information but does so in a format and language that are easy to understand. Her words of guidance for those who are living a similar story are helpful without being prescriptive. I would highly recommend this for any person who has children with mental illness in their world, whether among family or friends, in the classroom or congregation. --Jan Young Baker, M.D. When Lightning Strikes Twice is a masterpiece in navigating the mental health maze of the unthinkable, unbelievable, and untouchable. Melody brilliantly and sensitively opens our eyes to the uniqueness of bipolar disorder through each of her children's personal journey. She has us look at the effects on the family system--those you love, those you touch, and the community that surrounds you. The wisdom Melody shares will help you find the strength to believe that no matter what crosses your path in life, you are not alone--not even when lightning strikes twice. --Catherine Cameron, Psychotherapist Melody's deep sense of love and her amazing strength have carried her and her children through the real world of the heart-breaking and heart-warming story she shares in this book. As a teacher closely associated with her children, I marvel at how she has supported and cared for each of them, and how she has shaped three wonderfully caring, genuine, and compassionate young people despite the struggles placed before all of them. This is a remarkable story. --Joel Barr, Teacher This book is a beautiful and holy gift for you to open and treasure. In its pages is the authentic story of a family that must change to deal with new realities. It is a story that can change the world. Their story can help to reduce the stigma around mental health. It is a raw story yet so filled with hope. As we follow this family through the tough issues that they face, we are drawn into a bigger human story of loss, of hope, and eventually of new life. --Debra Nicholson-Elwell, Pastor This is a beautiful book. It is an honest, raw, and brave telling of one family's experience with mental health challenges. The writing is accessible and natural. I think right now, more than ever, this is an important story. Reading about how this family and all who supported them came together to navigate the complex and unpredictable world of supporting children with mental health issues was eye-opening. As an educator, I have been part of this process quite a few times and the journey is not for the faint of heart. I am proud of the Leclair family for sharing their experience so openly. The book is informative, funny, captivating, and inspiring! Bravo! --Heather Walker, Teacher
