Is My Crazy Showing?: A Memoir

By: Baker, Leigh

Leigh was first labeled crazy in her early teens. Although there were earlier clues, she didn't receive her official papers until she was 18 years old. It was there - in a mental hospital for teens - where she accepted her hysterical madness, discovered her unique voice and resolved to confront life with humor. Leigh's philosophy is you can't hide crazy so you may as well embrace it. Crazy doesn't go away after seven years like a bankruptcy; that sh*t sticks. In her debut memoir, Leigh takes readers on a hilarious journey through childhood love and loss, which leads to a preposterous hospitalization and sobering diagnosis. This memoir is a sidesplitting, triumphant feel-good story about surviving adolescence and a mental breakdown to ultimately create a family home filled with love, laughter and just the right amount of crazy. Leigh is also the outrageous personality behind reluctant-marathoner Steady Betty and writes at the hilarious blog www.leighbones.com. She lives in North Carolina with her husband and two children.
