Description:The book is about my relationship with my older sister, who struggled her whole life with bipolar depression and substance abuse. She was also smart, funny, creative, and beautiful. As a child growing up, I had no awareness of of any diagnosis or mental health labels. Having a sister with bi-polar manic depression was my version of normal. When she turned into a totally out of control wild teen, nobody tried to explain it to me as unusual. Now, looking back and reflecting on her life and our relationship, I understand how unique she was. Her manic highs and lows permeated my life and then later, as adults, we grew apart. Finding a collection of her old letters has allowed me to piece the puzzle back together. Her letters become a central focus, allowing the reader insight into her state of mind through her early twenties and thirties. I have been able to look back at our relationship with fresh eyes, older more patient eyes for sure, to gain a better understanding of how her mental health impacted our lives.
