The Blue Veil by Leigh Turgeon
Leigh Turgeon, Author of newly
released book, ‘The Blue Veil’ has pledged to donate proceeds of her book to 15
Depression Awareness organizations, in communities over three continents, worldwide.
WORLD-2012--
One in five people in your life
are or will suffer from depression in their lives. Is it your father, friend,
neighbor...is it you? ‘The Blue Veil’ is loosely based on the author’s own experiences
with Major Depressive Disorder. Mrs. Turgeon’s goal was to share these
experiences so that regular people going through it or people with loved ones dealing
with depression could further understand:
·
what
the mood disorder is,
·
what
it means to live with this disorder,
·
reduce
or obliterate the stigma against it.
Now,
during the book’s official virtual release campaign in July and August of 2012,
Mrs. Turgeon announces the larger fund raising efforts tied to ‘The Blue Veil.’
‘The Blue
Veil’ tells one person’s story, but is relevant to everyone in any community.
It is meant to promote awareness on three levels:
· -
understanding
one’s own mental health,
·
- dealing
with the mental health of a loved one,
· -
financially
supporting those organizations around the world that promote depression
awareness in our communities.
‘The Blue Veil’ is
available on Amazon.com and other online retailers as
a Kindle download or on Smashwords.com, with copies for any other ebook
readers.
