Hornbacher's fiercely self-aware portrait of bipolar, starting as early as age four, will surely powerfully change the current debate over whether bipolar can begin in childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough scenes of astonishing visceral and emotional power, she takes us inside her own desperate attempts to counteract violently careening mood swings. How Hornbacher fights her way up from a madness that all but destroys her, and what it is like to live in a difficult and sometimes beautiful life and marriage-where bipolar always beckons-is at the center of this brave and heart-stopping memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50119417626928,"sku":"BDduba","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/duba-Square-cover.jpg?v=1782475178","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-duba","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
