University of Pittsburgh law student, Maggie Hovis, battles an enemy she cannot escape--her own brain. Her family calls her a drama queen. Her fianc , Sam, moves out after she throws a shoe at his head. Maggie knows there is only one way to get him back--control her moods. So she takes the step most of her family is against: therapy.

After a diagnosis of Bipolar II Disorder, Maggie begins to investigate her family tree--which is plagued by mental illness and hidden relatives--and develops empathy for her deceased Great Aunt Ella, who lived her life in a mental institution. But Maggie's journey leads her into fear and insecurity, afraid she'll end up like Ella and never get Sam back. But what about Nick, her super-sexy old flame, who wants to reignite their passion? And does it even matter, anyway? Won't mental illness stop any man from loving her?
