About Rising Up: A True Story of Narcissists, Borderlines, and a Country on the Brink:
An intimate true story of dating someone with a personality disorder, set within the backdrop of a presidency going off the rails.
Seen through the prism of a single relationship, Rising Up begs the question: are we also in a collective toxic abuse cycle with Donald Trump? What does that mean for our own personal relationships?
Step into a deeply authentic and emotional novel that artfully weaves together astute political commentary, insightful reflections on psychological abuse, and a striking yet sympathetic picture of toxic codependent relationships.
