REBECCA OBRIEN certified reviewer June 12, 2023
Not your typical topic for a show yet, Depression and Suicidal thoughts are extremely important for everyone to know more about. So many folks run from facing what you need to learn to over come these tendencies. Christion Ty embraces them both bravely in the Sad Life of a Happy Man, & gets on the other side! ... full review
