An Honest, First-Person Account of Learning to Live With Bipolar Disorder May 05, 2009
By Jeremy L. Porter
"Jeremy Porter"
A relative of mine has struggled with bipolar for a few years now. When signs of her illness first started to surface, we all wanted to be a source of support for her, to help her get through it. As I would learn later, you don't "get through it" - and only the afflicted can truly understand the illness.
While this may be the case, I feel Fireflies of Madness provides a raw, honest first-person glimpse into what it must be like to wage war on this illness. I feel like I understand her better now, after turning the pages of this book.
Fireflies of Madness is not written like your standard self-help book. As you flip through the pages, there's no doubt the first-person account is authentic. There is raw emotion, stunning visuals and an undertone of inspiration, sure to help others suffering with the disease - or those like me, hoping to understand what a loved one must be going through on the inside.

not your typical bipolar story May 04, 2009
By M. Busby
In a uniquely creative way, Broder gives a brutally honest look into what it means to live with bipolar disorder. Her account is insightful and at times raw, and through photography, painting and beautifully treated text, the story portrays the ups and downs of a mood disorder that is largely missunderstood by the general public. Through self-discovery and intense intrspection, the author learns to manage her illness without impairment to the creativity that often accompanies this disease. Everyone who has bipolar disorder, and those that live with them, should experience this surprising uplifting story of one woman's journey through madness.
