BE KIND, LOVE HARD, MAKE MEMORIES

"The most unbelievable journey captured in the most heart wrenching yet honouring way possible."

Jennifer's Mom (Marnie) had Bi-Polar II Disorder, that went undetected and untreated for her first fifty plus years.  No one talked about mental health when Jennifer and her sisters were little, and everyone around them seemed too distracted by their Mom's impulsive life changing decisions and unhealthy coping strategies. 

Through almost two dozen home addresses in two different countries in less than 18 years, Jennifer miraculously kept all her childhood journals.  Along with her Mom's deeply honest and raw recovery journals, Jennifer has pulled together their story.
