After a series of traumatic events, including breast cancer and a two-year battle with anxiety and depression, Diane Chambers, a professional sign language interpreter, searches for a deeper understanding of mental illness and those who suffer from it. Taking her interpreting work into the trenches of the psychiatric communities, she comes to a rude awakening. Our laws are allowing thousands of individuals with serious mental illness to go without treatment. Too often the results are tragic. This astounding revelation sets her on an unexpected crusade to make a difference.

In her memoir, Fragile Minds: An Advocate's Story, Chambers shares her experience and knowledge of mental illness and our system of care, including its flaws and politics, hoping to awaken others to the fight for reform of our laws.
