With her honesty and her humor, Arlene McCarren takes us to places we may be shy of going. Insights into her own battle with bipolar disorder are brought to life through her journal, written while in the hospital. Her diary, kept in the last days of her husband's life, shows the unvarnished reality of facing the death of a loved one. Anyone dealing with real life issues will benefit from getting to know Arlene through the short and varied passages of this book.

Arlene McCarren may not be a celebrity, but here she lifts the veil on the truly extraordinary in an "ordinary" life.
