Bipolar Faith - A Black Woman''s Journey With Depression and Faith

Both a spiritual autobiography and a memoir of mental illness, Biploar Faith examines how the legacies of slavery, war, sharecropping, poverty, and alcoholism mask a family history of mental illness. In gripping fashion Monica A. Coleman tells the story of learning to live faithfully with bipolar disorder and discovering a liberating vision of God.
