Summary

"At a young age, Jessie Close struggled with symptoms that would transform into severe bipolar disorder in her early twenties, but she was not properly diagnosed until the age of fifty.... In [this book], Jessie dives into the dark and dangerous shadows of mental illness without shying away from its horror and turmoil. With [her co-author], she tells of finally discovering the treatment she needs and, with the encouragement of her sister and others, the emotional fortitude to bring herself back from the edge."--Jacket flaps
