A Mile In My Shoes

About the Book

A Mile In My Shoes is a poetry book unlike any you’ve ever seen before. It takes you on a journey of emotion that ranges from the deepest depression to the highest pinnacle of joy; sometimes all in the same poem!

It’s about a mental illness called Bipolar Disorder; formerly called Manic Depression, and its symptoms. It’s about unrequited love; it’s about anger, loneliness, children, hope, and gratitude. If you’ve ever experienced these feelings, or know someone who has, you will love this book. It will allow you to understand mental illness on the most basic level, yet bring you to the heights of compassion and fulfillment that you’ve never experienced before. You just may discover another side to mental illness-- the human side. Enjoy!
