About Rising Up: A True Story of Narcissists, Borderlines, and a Country on the Brink:
Is America in a toxic abuse cycle with Donald Trump?
Why do certain people show up into our lives and wreak havoc and chaos? Worse, why do we sometimes give them second chances despite knowing the risks? Did part of us invite these people to tear open old wounds so they can be healed once and for all?
Seen through the prism of a single relationship, Rising Up begs a response to our current predicaments, both personal and collective.
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
