UP ALL NIGHT: One Last Blast of Mania

In this sequel to “Swing Low: One Woman’s Journey Through Manic Depression” Karen Blackwell’s life takes a horrible turn. The very medication which has kept her out of the mental hospital for twenty years becomes her enemy, as her thyroid and kidneys suddenly spin out of control. Her trials lead her to living in low income senior housing, to a group home, and then to faith-filled independent living. This book is an autobiographical account of her journey from mental illness and divorce to healing and living a purposeful life through her faith in God.
