Bebe Moore Campbell (born Elizabeth Bebe Moore; February 18, 1950 - November 27, 2006), was an American author, journalist and teacher.

Her other works include the novel Your Blues Ain't Like Mine, which was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and the winner of the NAACP Image Award for Literature; her memoir, Sweet Summer: Growing Up With and Without My Dad; and her first nonfiction book, Successful Women, Angry Men. Campbell's interest in mental health was the catalyst for her first children's book, Sometimes My Mommy Gets Angry. This book won the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Outstanding Literature Award for 2003. Her book 72 Hour Hold also deals with mental illness. As a journalist, Campbell wrote articles for The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Ebony, as well as other publications. She was a commentator for Morning Edition on National Public Radio. Trina is eighteen and suffers from bi-polar disorder, making her paranoid, wild, and violent. Frightened by her own child, Keri searches for help, quickly learning that the mental health community can only offer her a seventy-two hour hold. After these three days Trina is off on her own again. Fed up with the bureaucracy and determined to save her daughter by any means necessary, Keri signs on for an illegal intervention known as The Program, launching them both on a terrifying journey.
