"Trimble adds a new voice of eloquent witness to the growing literature of severe mental illness. With restrained grief and unrestrained remembrance, he reclaims in words his lost, loved and loving brother. He reminds us that the mad among us are human—and in many ways versions of ourselves." - Ron Powers, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of No One Cares About Crazy People


An Evening

with Stephen Trimble


December 8th @ 7 pm


Reading from his latest award-winning book "The Mike File: A Story of Grief and Hope", Trimble grapples with his brother's heartrending struggle with misunderstood and untreated mental illness.
