Shadows and Light
About this ebook
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.
