Kay's world
Manic depression is made a reality for me in this book. I don't have the personal experiences with depression and Kay's story made me more aware of the lifestyle that is forced upon people with this disorder. She has to take medication, which of course come with side effects. She experiences upward spirals in mood only to be brought down again, even lower. Kay's story really connected with me on a personal level because of real her situation was and how much she had to go through. I enjoyed getting further into the book because i felt like a proud parent watching Kay slowly conquer her disability only to become a successful author.
