Shadows and Light: Navigating Life with Bipolar Disorder is a raw, compassionate, and powerful exploration of living with bipolar disorder. In this deeply personal and eye-opening book, author Allen Dekeyser shares his lived experience with bipolar highs and devastating lows, offering readers both truth and hope.
With a voice that is honest, vulnerable, and uplifting, Allen dives into the daily battles, the misunderstood emotions, and the strength it takes to keep going—even on the darkest days. Through heartfelt storytelling, practical insights, and faith-based encouragement, Shadows and Light is a guide for anyone living with bipolar disorder, supporting someone who is, or simply trying to understand it better.
More than a memoir, this book is a journey toward healing—one where mental illness doesn’t define you, but surviving it makes you stronger. Whether you're in the shadows, chasing the light, or somewhere in between, this book is a hand to hold and a reminder: you are not alone.
