Ron & Me: The Epidemic Within

About this Book

• Ron and Me: The Epidemic Within is an intimate narrative about two people faced with life-altering events related to bipolar depression.
• In Part One: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road, Susan reveals the well-paved, yet jagged path that led to her own suicide attempt in the summer of 2003.
• In Part Two: The Ebony and Ivory of Piano Keys, we understand how her test of fate led to a deep sense of purpose - both preceding and following the police shooting death of her friend Ron, an accomplished jazz pianist with bipolar disorder.
• In this rare book of honesty, Susan speaks with moxie about her own foibles by using an uncomplicated approach to storytelling. In doing so she brings lifelong issues to the surface, while giving a much-needed voice to anyone who's ever contemplated, or succeeded at, taking his or her own life.
