Bipolar Moments

About the Book

Asia is one of my most hilarious clients. One day, she tells me that she wants to create a reality TV show and present it to Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey. The book focuses on Asia’s life story and the events that led up to her bipolar diagnosis. During one of her group counseling sessions, she meets four women who have all been diagnosed with some form of mental illness. These women are enjoying life and living it to the fullest. In their minds, they are normal. It’s the rest of the world that is ratchet as hell. Together they plan to find fame and fortune as reality television stars like the unmarried housewives, basketball bitches, loveless hip-hop hoes, and the irrelevant ex-wives. But is the world ready?
