One: Memoir of a Manic Addict

One: Memoir of a Manic Addict brings my readers along with me on a wild ride through the funhouse mirror to experience the blissful horror of drugs, the odd beauty of insanity, a huge sad impossible love, the brutal truth of growing up, of pain and loss and finding the strength to make sense of the senseless and the faith to go on with the burden of living. I reflect upon the party life and the hip New York City drug scene, the distorted views and insane directions launched by an undiagnosed bipolar condition kept afloat with drugs, alcohol, food binges, sex, overspending, and an inability to touch land.As the reader looks on, I grab hold of my own life and Come to terms with who I really am when all the craziness is stripped away: I am every woman, just like my readers, just like you, a vulnerable human who got lost in darkness along the way and, by the grace of God, stumbled back into the light.Marks, Jennifer L. is the author of 'One: Memoir of a Manic Addict', published 2006 under ISBN 9781591460862 and ISBN 1591460867.
