Four out of five people in David Lovelace's immediate family have experienced bipolar disorder, including David himself. In 1986, his father, his brother, and David himself were all committed in quick succession. Only his sister has escaped the disease. A coming-of-age story punctuated by truly harrowing experiences, this devastating and empathetic portrait of the Lovelace family strips away the shame associated with bipolar disorder--a disease that affects approximately 5.7 million adult Americans--and celebrates the profound creative gifts that come with it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Lovelace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0452295610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452295612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.68h x 5.72w x 0.66d","brand":"David Lovelace","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489213829375,"sku":"9780452295612","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1497a7a8-5311-47a3-b968-7e2b28e6255a.jpg?v=1736952908","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scattershot-david-lovelace-9780452295612","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
