Nonfiction Book on Family Secrets Wins Two Prestigious Honors
Date:12/18/2009

ildren and childhood, with its mysteries, sadness and joy—this book is one emotional ride.”

Since its publication in May 2009, Annie’s Ghosts has garnered critical praise. NPR’s “All Things Considered” featured the book, and The Diane Rehm Show did an interview with Luxenberg (chosen for re-broadcast over the Thanksgiving weekend). Parade Magazine carried a Newsmaker Q&A with Luxenberg, headlined “How We Talk About Mental Illness.”

In October, Luxenberg gave the keynote address to the National Alliance on Mental Illness’s 5th annual Washington gala, “Unmasking Mental Illness.” In his speech, “Losing an Identity, Finding a Voice,” Luxenberg drew attention to federal and state privacy laws that often deter family members from obtaining the medical records of long-deceased patients.

“Privacy laws regarding medical records have done something quite rare—they have conferred rights upon the dead, rights with few limits, and these rights have created a serious imbalance between our understandable desire for privacy and our desire to be able to tell our own history,” Luxenberg told the crowd of 400.

The Independent Booksellers Association picked Annie’s Ghosts for its Fall 2009/Winter 2010 Recommendations for Reading Groups, one of three nonfiction books to make the cut.
