Synopsis "An Accidental Advocate"

An Accidental Advocate is an engrossing Erin-Brockovich style memoir with Lembi Buchanan fighting for fair tax treatment, not only for her husband Jim who lives with bipolar disorder, but also for thousands of Canadians with disabilities who have been discriminated against by a government that views chronic and persistent mental illness as being less disabling as physical impairments. Lembi takes on the Canada Revenue Agency in the Tax Court of Canada and wins big time, with a case that is upheld by the Federal Court of Appeal. An Accidental Advocate is also a deeply poignant personal story, about the power of love when their marriage is threatened by an unforgiving mental illness, time and time again. Lembi captivates her readers with honesty, humour and humility as she shares a love affair that has endured for more than 50 years. She counters the antipsychiatry movement that denies the existence of severe mental illness and denigrates their biological treatment because she and her husband chose science over unfounded theories that have no basis in medicine. In her remarkable memoir, Lembi shares the intimate details of a love story destined to last forever. Their story will resonate with families searching for answers and understanding, providing them with hope for better days ahead.This is a must read for everyone because mental illness has no boundaries and shows no discretion. Anyone can be affected at anytime.
