Found this on Christianity Today‘s 2023 Book Awards and am looking forward to reading it. The author apparently writes this novel from a place of experience, having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder more than a decade ago. One reviewer wrote that the writing is “raw, real, and beautiful,” and “guides readers into the reality that all of us are flawed, bruised, and broken. With that admission, there is hope and the chance for healing.”
