Sobre IBD

In 2012, Jerry Pinto published his debut novel, 'Em and the Big Hoom', which drew upon his experience of living with a mother who was bipolar. It touched thousands of readers, among them many who had similar experiences-of living with someone with a mental illness or infirmity. Some of these readers shared their stories with him, and agreed to share them with the world. 'A Book of Light' collects these harrowing yet moving, even empowering, stories-about the terror and majesty of love; the bleakness and unexpected grace of life; the fragility and immense strength of the human mind.
