Dolores Brandon’s book is a unique study in the poetry and intuitive psychological engagement of personal memoir of someone who grew up in the shadow of bipolar “madness” of her father.

The reader can follow the path of grief and rebirth along with the author and find a language to express their own individual grief and love process.
