That’s Supernatural.

With heartfelt chapters written by both the series’ actors and its fans—plus full-color photos and fan illustrations—There’ll Be Peace When You Are Done traces Supernatural’s evolution, the memorable characters created by its writers and brought to life by its talented actors, and the many ways in which the show has inspired and changed the lives of both its viewers and cast.

Featuring chapters from Jared Padalecki (“Sam Winchester”) and Jensen Ackles (“Dean Winchester”), which include some of the most heartfelt and emotional things they’ve previously said about Supernatural that they want fans to remember—plus new reflections about Sam and Dean’s legacy, There’ll Be Peace When You Are Done also includes original contributions from: 

  • David Haydn-Jones • “Arthur Ketch”

  • Richard Speight, Jr. • “Gabriel / The Trickster / Loki”

  • Julie McNiven • “Anna Milton”

CAST AND FANS ON HOW SUPERNATURAL HAS CHANGED LIVES

In 25 powerful chapters written by Supernatural’s actors and fans, including series stars Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins, Family Don’t End with Blood: How Supernatural Has Changed Lives examines the far reach of the show’s impact over the last 13 years. Supernatural has inspired fans to change their lives, from getting “sober for Sam” to escaping a cult to pursuing lifelong dreams. But fans aren’t the only ones who have been changed. The actors who bring the show to life have also found, in the show and its community, inspiration, courage, and the strength to keep going when life seemed too hard.

Contributions from Supernatural cast members include essays by Jared Padelecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Rob Benedict, Jim Beaver, Ruth Connell, Mark Sheppard, Kim Rhodes, Briana Buckmaster, Rachel Miner, Matt Cohen, Osric Chau and Gil McKinney.

In keeping with the show’s message to “always keep fighting,” and to support the important work of combatting stigma and encouraging those who are struggling to speak out, a portion of the proceeds from the book will be donated to Random Acts and charity Attitudes in Reverse, whose mission is to educate young people about mental health and suicide prevention.
