The author shares her hospital experiences after suicidal drug overdoses which involved emergency room activities, intensive care, and the death of a roommate. She introduces the reader to bipolar illnesses I and II and manic-depression. However depressive it may sound, she uses humor, drama, and expressive poems to entice the reader to enter her mental-health world.

About the Author
Jayne Paynter Moomaw was born on "Broadway" in Colfax, Iowa, and eventually graduated with a degree in physical education from Iowa State Teachers College (now the University of Northern Iowa). Her father died when she was four, and she pretty much raised herself while her mother worked many hours "to put food on the table." School became her haven, and her dog Skippy became her best friend. High school was an active, successful time in her life. Later, she married and bore three children. Her struggle with mental illness started in her senior year of high school and became full blown thirteen years later. It surfaces periodically . . . but Good Jayne is winning!
