## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    It’s good to know that people care
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2017*

This is a book worth reading whether you have close personal experience with the world of mental illness or are looking for insight into a grim reality that most Americans try to pretend doesn’t exist. Highlighting the humanity of both her patients and co-workers, Dr. Ford’s journal-like memoir conveys some of the best and worst of working in what has to be one of the most challenging careers possible.While it’s not the gritty expose I was expecting, Sometimes Amazing Things Happen tackles some of the harsh realities of working at or being a patient in our nation’s severely dysfunctional criminal justice/mental health system. It’s clear that the book could have been devoted solely to documenting the injustice and abuse present in the system but Dr. Ford instead emphasizes the element of hope in herself and others. The book doesn’t offer any grand solutions on how to make things better but carries the simple message that actually caring about these patients is crucial and our lives are enriched when we do so.

    A real account of what's it's like for those considering a mental health career
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2017*

I work in the mental heath field and I found this book very relatable. Elizabeth gives excellent insight into this career choice both as a doctor and other support personnel. If you wondered what it would be like to work in a mental health facility, this book will give you a good taste. I can tell you that when you have a good day and really get to help someone, its incredible, but bad days are like none you've ever had in any other job. I have learned so much about the suffering of people with mental illness and the everyday challenges they must ensure. I connected with the author in every phase of her career. This book is an interesting, quick read and will have special meaning to those who work in mental health facilities.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Compassion is What's Amazing!
  

*by H***U on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2017*

I read this whole book waiting for amazing things to happen.This woman, Elizabeth Ford, has a passion for working in what I would consider to be a very difficult place with sometimes extremely difficult people. Positive results are often short-lived, and almost all of these people never will lead normal lives. I cried when I finished the book and then saw the picture of Elizabeth. Her eyes are full of compassion. So beautiful!!
