When your reality is nothing like what others experience, how do you live your life like everyone else? Driven by a manic episode, Lara finds herself far from home in unfamiliar territory and distraught by the schizoid delusions being whispered to her by her old friends. In an effort to make them leave her in peace for even a few minutes, Lara makes a snap decision that sends her on the wildest ride of her life! There she unveils the dark side of her heart and psyche. She relives some key life moments and just maybe gains some wisdom along the way (Chandalee Helms).

This book is for the wild at heart, the "not normal", and the insensitive who find it hard to love especially with a mental illness. It is fiction based on true events. Through this account of hateful and shameful activity maybe this book could reunite families and the curious who may not understand. Thank God my family never left. I dedicate this book to my beautiful Mom and my ex-fianc, Bobo. I'm sure my ex-fianc seems unorthodox, but he's still one of the most important people in my life. This journey started about 16 years ago when I typed my first words to apologize to Bobo for me not showing up and fighting for our relationship. It was hard for me. I didn't know how to love.
