Happy pub day to DEFYING THE VERDICT -- MY BIPOLAR LIFE by Charita Cole Brown. In this stunning memoir, Charita recounts in a strong clear voice her life-long battle with bipolar disorder, and journey to independence and connection. #mentalillness #bipolardisorder #Memoirs

Because @CurbsidePress refuses to let Lost in Space die, Father’s Day is so soon and I’m referred to here as a “storyteller extraordinaire,” which, while merely a bonus, is a much appreciated one. https://t.co/b5YDGoAmaI @CurbsideBR @stevelafler

[Curbside Splendor @CurbsidePress]

Our author Charita Cole Brown was on TV this morning discussing our newest book DEFYING THE VERDICT -- her life's story battling and overcoming bi-polar disorder. This is a special book for us, and it drops next week! https://t.co/Ic2jqBVqVK

“In Iowa, in the tall grass, there’s a couple.”

as quoted in Tim Taranto’s ARS BOTANICA. Both of these works are full of love, heartbreak, humor, and the Midwest.
