Why can’t we talk about Suicide? Why can’t we Normalize thinking about suicide, make it a mental disorder like depression that we know we can manage? I wrote this book because I believes that although we have made progress in our ability to talk about depression, talking about suicide is still taboo. In fact, it’s become more taboo in recent years, despite the fact that suicide is a leading cause of death among young people. After a lifetime of feeling ashamed, of feeling broken, I have decided to step into the light and admit that I have suicidal thoughts. In a candid and conversational style, this book tells how I have dealt with depression and suicidal tendencies – using therapy and a variety of self-care techniques. Despite the serious topic, there's a bit of humor in this book! It’s not a complete memoir – I’m not going to tell you all of the traumas in my life that have led me to feel this way. It’s not a self-help book, either, because I have sought out and received lots of help! It’s more of a Guidebook – a possible map – about how someone can survive with this condition.

Kids of today face a different world – and a different set of challenges – then did the children of even 15 years ago. Playing with a Purpose features a collection of monologues that reflects these new attitudes and circumstances. Highly diversified in its view of the family and the child's place in the world, the monologues have been chosen from several sources: from contemporary playwrights and screenwriters; from YouthPlays, a new company that specializes in publishing cutting-edge plays for the youth market; and from such conservatories for young actors as The Playground, the Los Angeles-based training center run by Gary Spatz, the leading acting coach for performers ages 6 to 16. “Playing with a purpose” is an idea that arose from Fife's work with young actors over the course of several decades. The included monologues have been chosen and arranged to allow for a young actor's development. From “Getting Started: Simple Situations and Circumstances” to “Intermediate: Adding Elements of Character” to “Advanced: Character Counts ” each chapter includes pieces that will test the young actor's ability, while making use of the lessons presented in each.
