Cynthia M. Sabotka

Cynthia M. Sabotka is the author of Life Is Like A Line: A Memoir of Moods, Medication and Mania (SilverLiningPublishing.com 2008). This autobiography Life is Like a Line: A Memoir of Moods, Medication and Mania is one woman's journey through the highs and lows of bipolar disorder. From a stormy childhood through a difficult ongoing recovery, you'll follow her on a path of self-discovery and healing that lasts more than 50 years. Her journey, penned in real time in a state of mania, begs the question: What is a "normal" life?

Life is Like a Line: A Memoir of Moods, Medication and Mania is not a saunter through life. It is an edgy narrative non-fiction memoir; journal-like in framework it depicts life’s struggles and the lessons learned about love, disappointment, and forgiveness. It portrays a jagged family torn by deceit and familial homophobia layered with parental relations filled with hostility and shades of mental illness. It is the revival of child in adulthood, it is the battle of adult unwellness and the memory of teenage self-medication. Follow the link to the book Introduction1.
