The title of a book is supposed to hint at what's inside. This doesn't. Or rather, it takes til the end of the book to figure it out. Which we didn't like.
There are way too many topics in this book, and the author barely explores them. Alcoholism. Sexual abuse. Bipolar disorder.
We do not recommend this book. It's 388 pages and we skimmed portions of the last third of the book.
What the book publishing world does is -- they ask an author to write a book 300+ pages so that the book can be priced at a certain price-point. This book needed to take on fewer topics and do them well.
The author does a good job with imagery. I think that's what kept me from wanting to just stop reading this book. I read it to the end...well, I skim/read til the end.
This book is not for the discerning reader.
