This book is the sharing of the life of an amazing young man with bi-polar illness. It is told through the experiences of his mother from the time of his birth through early adulthood, experiences shared by friends and by people who were touched briefly but affected forever by John. This moving story offers a first-hand look at a man fighting his own mind by offering non-candy coated readings from his personal journals. The beauty of this incredible soul reaches out to you through his hopeful words and encourages you to rethink yourself and be a better person and then causes your heart to break as you feel the sheer pain of his tormented thoughts. Become engaged in every part of John's life. It is the author's hope that by sharing this difficult story that the face of mental illness may change, that stigma will lessen and treatment will eventually improve. Her hope is that you will be moved knowing that real people suffer even among friends and family who love them and many times the mind is too powerful and destructive to be stopped. She hopes others won't be lost, that many will be helped and that none will be judged. |
