Karen Winters Schwartz, author of "Where Are the Cocoa Puffs?: A Family's Journey Through Bipolar Disorder" will speak about her debut novel, have a Q&A, and then be available for a meet and greet and to sign copies of her book.
Hailed as a coming of age story that speaks to the deeper truths behind mental illness and its widespread effects, the novel is a fictional account of the non-fiction life that families facing Bipolar Disorder experience everyday. Schwartz delves into not only the psyche of the 18-year-old female protagonist diagnosed manic depressive, but also sensitively portrays the effects on her surroundings, family and friends.
