Helpful Score: 1

This was a heart-breaking memoir about a son lost to the mental illness of bipolar disorder. It has only been in recent years that manic-depression has been recognized as a disorder that does effect children. The author and her supportive family and friends struggled for years to find help for her son. Even when the best of care from the mental health community became available, the lure of suicide was always a struggle. Nick lost that struggle, but left behind a legacy of amazing writing, music, and love.
