Talk: Hurry Down Sunshine (Non-fiction)

As we head into February, we’re diving into a memoir that hits straight at the heart—Hurry Down Sunshine by Michael Greenberg. In this raw, beautifully written account, Greenberg chronicles the summer his teenage daughter experiences a sudden, severe break from reality. It’s a story about family, crisis, love, and the bewildering landscape of mental illness.
This month, we’ll explore the book’s emotional punch, its compassionate insight, and the way Greenberg balances despair with hope. It’s the kind of read that invites big conversations—gentle ones, human ones, the kind you walk away from feeling a little more connected to the world.
