When a new mother becomes manic overnight from a rare form of bipolar disorder, she stops at nothing to find the mental stability she needs to stay alive.
A beautiful well written love story that will remain in my heart/head for a long time.

Such a courageous memoir! I thought there were so many important aspects of this book that the author shared with us that can challenge some of the stereotypes that we have around maternal mental health including the fact that this was her second birth, and her history of growing up with a parent of mental illness. Postpartum bipolar disorder is at times, difficult to diagnosis and Dyane's story is a much needed read for those that have suffered and those that work with women during the childbearing years.

This book was a compassionate peek inside the not very understood area of postpartum mood disorders, which can be tough to diagnose and, in the author's case, treat. Dyane takes the reader through her life before and after her diagnosis, with compassion for the professionals trying to help her and self-awareness for the difficulties her family and friends experience as a result of her illness. Overall I thought it was an empowering story, especially for women who have struggled with mental illness and parenting.
