Non ficiton book about a mother who suffers from mental illness and her unusual journey to sanity. It's very well written and poignant. A really interesting and at times wrenching read.

Was recommended to me after I met the author. Intriguing read. Learned so much and found myself better able to empathize with people suffering from any sort of depression or mental illness.
