Book # 5 this year...
An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness, Kay Redfield Jamison
3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
From the back of the book...
"In An Unquiet Mind Jamison examines manic depression from the dual perspectives of the healer and the healed, revealing both its terrors and its cruel allure that at times promted her to resist taking medication. She has emerged with a memoir of enormous candor, vividness, and wisdom, one of those rare books that have the power to transform lives--and even save them.:"

Right now I'm in the process of reading two books at once: Home by Julie Andrews and re-reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I'm about half way through each book...so there's more reviews to come.
