For instance, there is a double page where she is planning her book launch, full of busy lines and arrows to indicate a full force brainstorm. Most of the book documents a familiar path, the one signposted the Road to Recovery (or at least stability), though fortunately it never feels too familiar thanks to Forney's representations of her different mental states. One speech bubble declares "I don't want balance, I want brilliance! Meds would hold me down!" Meanwhile, on the same page, the sword of Damocles hangs above her head. What will be particularly familiar for those who have been through similar experiences is the sense of denial. Here the main person Forney betrays is herself, and she does so with wit, irony and pathos. To write a memoir, we are told, involves the ability to betray people.
