Has it happened to you?
Thought you’d achieved a modicum of mood stability—and then, next thing you know, you’re off to the races again?

Renee was a serious over-achiever, and had been from the moment she pushed herself out of her mother’s womb ahead of her twin, who, by anatomical rights, should have come first.
She had the best dioramas in elementary school, gave the longest oral report on Roman aqueducts in the history of her school, wrote the most creative essays, attended the local community college during math class time...
