In "The Faces of NAMI", Mark McClintock gathers first-hand testimonies from 18 members of the Joplin, MO NAMI chapter, who suffer from mental illness, and several of their children. These stories give a close-up look at how mental illness has affected these people and their families without conquering them. True courage and a spirit of tenacity are displayed by everyone whose life has been forever changed by the unrelenting presence of mental illness. McClintock has captured a snapshot of how these people have risen up and proved to be better than the challenges facing them!
