Tripp Friedler Author Signing & Conversation with JFS Executive Director @ Barnes & Nobel
Sep 28 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm

 “This beautifully written book is a powerful and moving story of a family’s struggle with mental illness.”

Walter Isaacson, bestselling biographer of Steve Jobs, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein and Elon Musk.

 

Join JFS Executive Director, Roselle M. Ungar, CFRE and memoirist Tripp Friedler for a conversation and author signing event Saturday, September 28th! A portion of proceeds will benefit our Teen Life Counts program

 

The Tunnel opens in New Orleans on a March evening when author Tripp Friedler takes a call from his 21-year-old son, Henry, who is midspan on the Mississippi River Bridge and too scared to jump.

What follows is an elaborate game of chase across the United States as Tripp and his wife, Heidi, spare no expense to get Henry the treatment he requires but resists. The Tunnel advances from one unforgettable scene to the next as Henry’s depression deepens to bipolar disorder. You’ll hold your breath every paragraph, waiting for what happens next.

Throughoutthe wild journey, author Tripp Friedler exposes the flaws in the social fabric when it comes to dealing with mental illness. He wonders what people without means do when faced with this wall of indifference.

The Tunnel is a book about what holds a family together and what tears a family apart. It’s a journey you’ll never forget.
