This STORY was very interesting. However, it could have been told better by another writer. This book is such a work of self-indulgence for the author. It nearly drove me crazy. Even in the book, you can hear her explaining herself away. Yes, She has a disease, but not once do you really hear her take responsibility for herself or her actions. She's selfish and it shows in her writing. The book is copyrighted 2004 so my hope is that in the past 4-5 years that she has had more time to heal and more time to think about her life back then. Perhaps she meant for this book to be that way, to show how she WAS, but it just infuriated me.

Interesting book, good subject, but would have been better with a really good editor to tone down Ms. Donahue's holier than thou and super indulgent rants.
