Georgetown,
Texas, USA (July 26, 2013) -- Join author Jane Thompson as she
learns about the value of support for those who suffer from bipolar
disorder in her new novel, Flying Buttresses: A Novel of Bipolar
Disorder (now available through Amazon and Kindle).
My
new book, Flying Buttresses,
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flying-Buttresses-Novel-Bipolar-Disorder/dp/1490334254)
is not about the support offered Gothic Cathedrals, but about a
support group formed by six people with bipolar disorder, people in
varying degrees of wellness and abilities to function. This book is
the story of how they helped-and didn't help each other, how they
encouraged each other and how they worked to promote stability for
each member. Each of them has a story, and each story is fascinating.
Meet
Missy, who tries to damp her mania with vodka with no success. And
Carleton, who stays on his lithium but finds that mania invariably
creeps up on him anyway. Jackie, an attractive blond, has lost
custody of her child because of her illness, and has to fight to get
him back. Suzy is obsessed with a rock star and can't get him out of
her mind. Abby has fallen in love with a married man and can't get
up. Marie has lost her job and is trying to find her balance. See how
these people, all with the same disorder, come together to try to
mitigate the damages of the illness and to reach stability through
therapy and medication.
They
support each other through the search for the proper medications,
though it is difficult for each individual to find the right ones for
them. Their senses of humor and outlooks on life help each of them to
life with the difficulties of living with the pain of mental illness.
The
book is meant to be diverting and to tell a story, but also to
educate people as to how the disorder works and the means of
combatting it. It is meant for those suffering from the disorder and
friends and family of those who have the illness.
