I found reading the various stories in Dr. Mueller Bryson's first non-fiction book "Those They Left Behind" compellingly sad. As a suicide survivor and having read many, many books on suicide, perhaps this book was healing for those who are telling the story but, I found the book as a whole not particularly healing for one, who has experienced the loss of someone. One particular story in her book "Keening in Bangor" was especially offensive to me. I had known the two young girls the author of the story wrote about. The author of the short story, Carolyn Gage, a Lesbian Activist, author, and playwright, DID NOT know the two girls she wrote about. Ms. Gage took a tragic event and contrived a story so sensational that it should be considered libelous. I have to question Mueller Bryson's accuracy of any of her stories in this book but more importantly, I would be questioning the credibility of any of Carolyn Gages work.
