Perfect Chaos

I had Cinda Johnson as a professor in graduate school and heard a little bit about her daughter's story and that they had written a book together, so this book has been on my list for a long time before I finally read it. It is an extraordinary story, particularly in the way that it is written, alternating between Linea's (the daughter) and Cinda's (the mother) perspectives as Linea experiences learning she has bipolar as she goes through a series of episodes. It is definitely a difficult book to read because of the reality portrayed, but I think it's important and worthwhile.
