Description
Thought-provoking,” “poignant,” “moving,” “thoroughly enjoyable,” “couldn’t put it down!” are all words used to describe this genre-bending memoir. Praise for I Hear the Black Raven comes from the U.S. and abroad.
A girl interrupted in the prime of her life by a diagnosis of mental illness must come to terms with her disease while struggling with her religious values and sexual identity. “You described in detail what was happening in your brain [during mania] which is so profound. It is a must read for everyone who wants to understand the anatomy of bipolar disorder and how the brain works." – Leah Iny, Author of Freedom to Be
“Claire describes her manic episodes more vividly than anyone I’ve ever read describing mania!” – Deborah A. Lott, Author of Don't Go Crazy Without Me
“A wonderful collection of thoughts and words. It’s over everything else, beautifully put together. It’s inspiring and emotional.” – On A Reading Bender
At 31 years of age, Claire Ishi Ayetoro has lived enough lives to fill an ensemble cast. In this, her first memoir, no topic is off-limits as she paints portrait after portrait of her triumphs and her battles with bipolar disorder, religiosity, and that ever elusive cure-all: love.
A vividly compassionate depiction of psychosis, Ayetoro weaves words of wisdom, encouragement, and inspiration into every layer of her storytelling. Journey with her through the mountains and valleys of manic depression, guided by that singular spirit of flight: the black raven. You never know, it may even be calling to you.
