Publisher's Synopsis
In the middle of the quarantine for COVID-19 after reading one memoir after another Joshua found the inspiration to write his own memoir. Like many others with nothing but time on his hands while out of work his story unfolded in rapid succession in just eight days. One week then a random day a few days later. His psychiatrist asked him if he was manic after he shared the news that he had just written an entire book since his last Telehealth appointment. The book travels through his childhood of finding out he was biracial to a diagnosis of bipolar 1 while in a psych ward in the Army. The story follows his life giving the reader hope. Even though the story follows his life as closely as it can being a bipolar writer weaves the reader in and out of his life on a roller coaster. In the end his tattoos remind him of who he will become.
