Through The Withering Storm: A Brief History of a Mental Illness

By Leif Norgaard Gregersen

Book Overview

This is a book written about my life growing up with bipolar disorder. It closely follows my extensive travels, my days as an Air Cadet, days as a pilot, and the horrible experiences of being locked up in a mental hospital. Richard Van Camp, author of ten books whose latest has been made into a movie, had this to say about "Through The Withering Storm": Every once in a blessing while, a voice comes out of nowhere that astonishes you with its' vulnerability and courage. Leif Gregersen is this voice for me. I pray "Through The Withering Storm" finds its' way to those grappling with mental illness so they can see that they are not alone and that there is support out there, and I pray that this book finds its' way into the homes of those families who are trying to find insight into what's happening to someone they love who is battling a mental illness. This book is one I will return to time an time again for humility and empathy. Thank you Leif, for your courage, and for sharing your story. -Richard Van Camp, author of "The Lesser Blessed"
