{"product_id":"mad-cow-leanne-bitrowa-9781438927923","title":"Mad Cow: The Diary of a Fractured Personality","description":"MAD COW comprises a life cut up and pasted together, fragments of an individual who is stitched and moulded via detailed thoughts, incoherent ramblings and insightful art. This autobiography is a collage of experiences and emotions to convey a fractured mind that is striving against the darkness yet encountering moments of sublime - albeit, transient - light. My account is candid and personal, ranging from a tone that is heartfelt and pugnacious to reveal a girl's journey, her life oscillating between ordinary occurrences and unusual situations. My life is my own, here in print; however, it may be representative of many. This diary was initially composed in an effort to gain closure, yet it reveals the discovery of happiness following a battle with the demons of anorexia, depression and self-harm. Hopefully, by bringing my story into the public domain, I can build a distant rapport with others who have experienced similar struggles, or indeed, can shine a light on such issues, whilst maintaining that I am just an everyday person. Doing so would be a kind of projecting my voice and reaching out, so to speak. These writings can also be rather playful and celebratory of love and hope for the future; here is a voyage which can be painful, though fuelled by jauntiness and an inherent optimism at times. I have combined the very bad times with the very good - and the bits in between - which is what living is essentially all about.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leanne Bitrowa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438927924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438927923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Leanne Bitrowa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439148052735,"sku":"9781438927923","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f55dc4a-9716-4abc-bea9-66678f324cc2.jpg?v=1777175753","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mad-cow-leanne-bitrowa-9781438927923","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
