So Chocolate Pudding in Heaven...the author, Maggie Newcomb, had her first severe manic episode when she was sixteen. She was hospitalized at that time. Her family has remained supportive throughout her illness.
She gives worthwhile insight into mania, especially with struggling with what is "real" spirituality and what is manic-induced spirituality.
That said, the book seems to be written by someone whose personality seems to have remained rather stuck at the age of a later teen/young adult.
All in all, even though it certainly wasn't the best book I've read, the author does give a good look into what her manic episodes were like. She also provides a realistic view of her IP experiences.
If anyone wants this book, I'll send it to you free. Just PM me your address (totally confidential) and I'll send it out.
