A Work of Art Unsurpassed!!
This is the finest work of art produced by Ms. Billingsley to date. What a momentous,fascinating and intriguing way of presenting the topic of Bipolar Disorder! Tia the afflicted character is well aware that she is ill but she tries numerous unsuccessful efforts to make herself better. She is truly blessed to have the love of her husband Lance and thankfully she does come to terms with her illness and gets help from medications,her husband, her doctor and a support group. I truly commend Reshonda for her presentation of this not often tlaked disease that as she states affects 4 out of 10 adults in this country and I truly appreiciate the ending of the story with hope and happiness
