Holiday Book Recommendation for LitFic Lovers

If you need a good holiday gift for those who enjoy literary fiction, check out my editing client Jalesa Morrison's "Four Years of Despair."

Jaunell Morris was a typical kid: hanging out with friends and going to school. Although being teased occasionally and living in one of the poorest and dangerous towns in southern Illinois, Jaunell was a happy and talented child. Things turned for the worse for Jaunell shortly after her thirteenth birthday.

Joan, Jaunell’s mother, believed that Jaunell was going through a phrase. But Jaunell’s increasingly violent behavior proved her wrong. Obnoxious behavior and suicidal thoughts led Jaunell to Chestnut Mental Health Hospital where she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

After being discharged from Chestnut, Joan felt like she had her daughter back. But things go from bad to worse for the Morris family. Refusing to take medication, fighting, truancy, and suicide attempts lead to multiple hospitalizations for Jaunell.

Will Jaunell receive the help that she desperately needs?

"Four Years of Despair" is available on Amazon.com.
