From Amazon:
A Chronicle of life with an insane parent. I wrote this because I wanted those who feel silenced, and alone to speak up. I flew on the back of a brilliant woman who soared high and fell low. often crashing but also inspiring me to take chances that I might otherwise not. I was with her every painful step of the way, and I witnessed unbridled mental brilliance and deeply disturbing moments that shaped my fragile psyche as a child. It was a strange and beautiful ride, that scared me and, yet inspired me. It left me bewildered but in complete wonderment of the world around me. You can let Mental Illness define you, or you can help define Mental Illness. You are not to blame, and there is no shame.
My Review:
5.0 out of 5 stars To the point and then some

Wow. This was a hard read due to the material about a woman who had bipolar disorder as my own mother had the same. The ups and downs are crazy, same with mine. As a kid, we didn’t know my mother was mentally ill. We thought she was like all mothers. Once older, we then knew. I so understand this book intently. Putting the words down is therapeutic. There are punctuation issues but they don’t detract from the story.
