Lori-ellen Pisani lives with a powerful enemy inside her brain.
At times, Lori-ellen soars to the heights of mania.
She's highly creative and a multi-tasker.
Then a trigger such as an argument will send her into a suicidal depression.
Having been undiagnosed until her early thirties and working as a teacher, if anyone were to find out, her career would be in serious jeopardy.
Bipolar Disorder is very often misunderstood, and therefore perceived as a threat by the parents who have entrusted their children to her care.
She takes you on her journey to learn the identity of this enemy and to declare a secret war to save her life.
Each chapter brings the reader along her experiences as she battles: abandonment, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, divorce, and cancer.
Readers will relate to Lori-ellen's words, and hopefully find the strength to wage war against mental illness and begin their own journey towards victory - peace of mind and heart.
