Description
Lizzie Simon's memoir offers a candid and deeply personal exploration of living with bipolar disorder. At just 23 years old, she had achieved impressive success as a theater producer, yet felt isolated and misunderstood. Simon embarks on a journey to find others who share her experiences, hoping to connect with those who have successfully navigated their manic-depression. Along the way, she encounters romance, madness, and individuals who embody both the struggles and resilience of living with mental illness. This fast-paced and enduring memoir demystifies mental illness while exploring the universal human struggle to become whole.
