What Readers are Saying 

 

 

 

Reading. Wow.

Your writing is beautiful

and the story

is so compelling and important.

-Bethany McLean,

contributing editor at Vanity Fair. She is also a columnist at Yahoo Finance and a contributor to CNBC..

Her two books are the The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron and All the Devils Are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis.

 

"This brave, honest and heartbreaking, but often humorous narrative takes the reader into the inner-workings of a mind besieged by bipolar disorder.

 

The journey of Liddy, her family and husband is a story of struggle, friendship, and love; but perhaps, even more importantly, it is a window into the world of how the US health care system, which continues to see the mind and body as separate entities makes those with 'mental illness,' search for proper care and support."

L. Liss, reader, artist & mother.

 "The rollercoaster ride was relentless and the spiral storytelling made me so inside the tale that I needed to find my ground before finishing up the story.

 

It takes courage to live, but it takes more courage to write about living. E.B. has hit the truth so hard I was thrust into a new understanding and such enormous compassion for what she and others with bipolar disorder go through.

 

This is brilliant work and so necessary."

 

Michèle Raper Rittenhouse, Playwright, and New Jersey Institute of Technology, Director of Theatre Arts and Technology.

E.B. Howell's candid and honest memoir intertwined with fictional storytelling is an important work that would benefit any family member, neighbor, classmate, or friend who is ready to understand in new ways the bipolar mind. Her work is sensitive, heartfelt, while being couched in a creativity that makes this an easy read to a sometimes difficult subject. The love that went into this work sweeps through every page!

- B. Brown, avid reader, wife and teacher.
