Judy L. Mandel’s new memoir, White Flag (Legacy Book Press), seeks an understanding of substance use disorder as the author struggles to save her beloved niece and fulfill the deathbed promise to her sister.
“We rarely know the deeper ramifications of tragedy through people’s lives. Judy L. Mandel’s book White Flag shows us the true story of how the same tragedy I drew from for In the Unlikely Event spiraled through her family, giving a glimpse of the way trauma can be felt for generations.” Judy Blume
“Judy
Mandel’s new memoir, WHITE FLAG, is
both harrowing and heartbreaking. It’s also strangely timely.
Though deeply personal and intimate, the book asks us all to consider our
own agency - and lack thereof - when things go terribly wrong.”
Richard
Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning fiction writer, essays and screenplays. His
most recent novel is Chances Are . . . .
“An extremely important and timely book that is
a lifeline thrown out into the cold and unforgiving ocean that is our present
time.”
Kaylie
Jones, award winning author of A Soldier’s Daughter Never Cries,
Speak Now, Celeste Ascending, Lies My Mother Never Told Me, The Anger Meridian
