On this episode of Suicide Noted, I talk with Vandy. Vandy lives in Illinois and she is a suicide attempt survivor.

Anne Vandy Purky is a storyteller who writes about her dive into the dark inferno as a young woman and her privileged booze soaked childhood with often an ending of redemption and triumph.

She has performed everywhere in Chicagoland from Ragdale to Steppenwolf Theatre. She lives in Lake Forest, IL with her husband, daughter and black lab Augustus.
