Description: Within our Reach: Ending the Mental Health Crisis. Rosalynn Carter with Susan K. Golant and Kathryn E. Cade. Bookplate signed by Rosalynn Carter on the first free endpaper. Hardcover with dust jacket, xxvi + 214 pages, first edition, first printing. Published by Rodale Inc., distributed by Macmillan, 2010. From the dust jacket: "In Within Our Reach: Ending the Mental Health Crisis, Rosalynn Carter and coauthors Susan K. Golant and Kathryn E. Cade render an insightful, unsparing assessment of the state of mental health. Mrs. Carter has been deeply invested in this issue since her husband’s gubernatorial campaign when she saw firsthand the horrific, dehumanizing treatment of people with mental illnesses. Using stories from her 35 years of advocacy to springboard into a discussion of the larger issues at hand, Carter crafts an intimate and powerful account of a subject previously shrouded in stigma and shadow, surveying the dimensions of an issue that has affected us all. She describes a system that continues to fail those in need, even though recent scientific breakthroughs with mental illness have potential to help most people lead more normal lives.Within Our Reach is a seminal, searing, and ultimately optimistic look at how far we’ve come since Carter’s days on the campaign trail and how far we have yet to go." This is a handsome copy, and its condition is nearly like new: the book itself has a total of three tiny bumps on top and bottom board edges, as well as a slightly bumped top rear corner. The unclipped dust jacket has light scuffs on the front and back that can only be seen at certain angles, and is slightly creased along parts of its top and bottom edges.
