Gorilla and the Bird: A Memoir of Madness and a Mother's Love by Zack McDermott

4.0

Wow did this effect me! Zack’s memoir is so powerful and so many things he said about his bipolar diagnosis was so relatable to me. I myself have bipolar II and when Zack describes his illness as a tornado off in the distance I was flabbergasted. The storm in the distance is a statement I’ve been making for years about my illness! If you have any sort of experience with mental illness or even trauma, you will relate to this touching personal memoir.
