Summary:
Cook is one of over four million other people in the United States who has borderline personality disorder (BPD). She has shown every classic symptom of the disorder since childhood, but wasn't properly diagnosed until nearly a decade later on the belief that she would simply "grow out of it." Here she shares what it's been like to live and love with this disorder. Not just hospitalizations, treatments, and residential therapy, but moments she found comfort in cereal, the color pink, or mini corn dogs; the peace she found when someone held her.-- adapted from front flap
