UPS just dropped off Terri Cheney's latest book, "The Dark Side of Innocence: Growing Up Bipolar." You may be familiar with Terri's "Manic: A Memoir," which hit the NY Times best-seller list soon after it came out in Feb, 2008.
Terri's new book hit the shops yesterday. I had a chance to read it several months ago in galley form, and had no trouble writing the following blurb, which appears on the back cover:
Rewind the life of any adult with bipolar and you will find a childhood we would all desperately like to forget. Terri Cheney unflinchingly remembers, and in the process of telling her story bears painful witness to all of ours.
I'm flattered Terri asked me to write a blurb for her. I'll get a full review out probably on Monday. In the meantime, I'll leave you with Terri's opening two sentences:
Killing yourself at any age is a seriously tricky business. But when I was seven, the odds felt insurmountable.
If you have a Kindle, you can continue reading right now ...
