Karoo, Mania and Me. By Rosy Jackson

In this very personal account, Rosy Jackson describes the journey from a fun-filled childhood on a Karoo farm to accepting and dealing with the diagnosis of a bipolar mental condition. Her first marriage ends in rejection, and her second implodes when her illness takes over after the birth of her third son. In a story that is sometimes hilarious, sometimes hear-rending, she paints an honest picture of a life teetering and then drifting out of control, until at last she finds the help she needs to not only manage the highs and lows but to live with enthusiasm, courage and hope.
