A Little Crazy: A Memoir of Finding Purpose and Joy Amid the Madness

The father and bestselling author who won over critics and readers with Dear William is back with more, embarking on a kaleidoscopic and revelatory journey through the tumultuous landscape of faith, sanity, grief, and the intersection where the three converge in this powerful and revealing memoir.

Adopted into a family that never quite fit, David Magee’s life was always shadowed by aloneness and a feeling of otherness. It wasn’t until a voice emerged from within his own mind that a new path forward became clear; one that embraced his mental-health adversities and transformed them into his most vital assets.

A testament to the transformative power of faith and perseverance, A Little Crazy follows David’s story as he battles against ADHD, anxiety, depression, and addiction, turning his life around to save his marriage and career. Impactful lessons unfold through vivid imagery and breathtaking honesty, crafting a poignant reflection on the nature of redemption and the possibility of salvation in the face of profound brokenness.

A trusted voice in the mental health and substance misuse space, known from his work advocating for student and family well-being nationally, David’s inspiring journey teaches readers:
The power of believing in something bigger The importance of trusting and following instinct The reality that we can’t do it alone How speaking our truth frees us and helps others
While both reckoning with the past and celebrating the resilience of the human spirit, A Little Crazy is a powerful call to action to embrace differences and create a life full of joy; unbound by stigma and stereotypes.
