The story of Amy’s struggle with borderline personality disorder.

This is the true story of a family’s journey through the mental illness of one of their members, the beautiful but troubled Amy.  Her chosen lifestyle of drugs and gangs eventually leads her to a tragic end, and her family is left reeling.  The book chronicles her short life, touching on her diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and her dealings with the criminal court system.  A story of love and struggle, realistically told though her mother’s eyes.
