Another book

Between a late night last night and the long wait in the doctor's office today I was able to make a pretty good dent in another book which I ended up finishing tonight. This was a different kind of book for me. Not since "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey have I read a book like this one. This book was "Living on the Edge of Madness" by Sonny Kramer and Linda Wakeman. Mostly Sonny telling the story of Linda. She came into his life when he was 52 and she was 28. She was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. A "little" something passed down from her father (with a touch of it in her mother) and his family. Linda introduced him to a woman of wit, intellect, charm, and beauty but also a woman of deceit, infidelity, manipulation and madness. When she was well she was wonderful, but when she wasn't they lived a nightmare. The devotion of Sonny to Linda is heart wrenching. He recorded their lives together and put them in this book for others to understand what living with and having this disorder is like.
