Description
My Body is a Book of Rules is a candid and deeply personal memoir that explores the complexities of mental illness, identity, and trauma. Elissa Washuta's journey is marked by the turmoil of bipolar disorder, the aftermath of sexual violence, and the struggle to reconcile her American Indian heritage with the expectations of a Catholic education. Through seventeen inventive chapters, Washuta sifts through the fragments of her past, revealing a raw and unflinching look at human fallibility. This debut memoir is a powerful and unapologetic exploration of the human experience, one that will challenge and disturb, but ultimately make it worth reading.
