Book Details

Bipolar is an identity, its who you are it can be treated but it’s still who you are. Jayma have to live with that person within her. Each day is a struggle to stay alive. “This is a riveting portrayal of a courageous brain alternating between exhilarating highs and numbing lows.” Jayma suffered her first attack of manic-depression at seventeen. We follow her battle with the illness through college, through a passionate love affair and desperate loss, through episodes of violence, bouts of madness, and attempted suicide.
