Some mental conditions can hide in broad daylight.
When physician Paul Schaeffer is inexplicably and suddenly dumped by Julie Bradley, an alluring and skilled nurse, several years into their often rocky but quite blissful romance, he attempts to make some sense of her behavior by mentally reliving the captivating journey from when they first met to their apparent bitter end.Though Julie seems to have definitively replaced him with another man, Paul suspects that there is much more to understand as Julie's abusive childhood left her not only with horrible physical scars, but deep emotional wounds as well. Julie suffers with Borderline Personality Disorder, a harrowing psychological condition so complex as to make Paul question if there is not more to their unique relationship that has yet to be written.
Inspired by actual events, I Am Still Right Here is the compelling story of love in the dark shadow of a potentially devastating psychological ailment and how two people strive to find their way into the light.
I don't recall a previous time where I have ever finished a book in a single day. Written through intimate character driven story telling that causes me to wonder who others might be under the influence of their lived experiences. This book will stick with me for a while in a way that other books simply can't. -Danielle (verified purchase on Amazon) This book is absolutely fantastic. I couldn't put the book down. From the prologue to the discussion. It stirred up many emotions in me. It was a true page turner. Can't wait to share. -Randi Mills (veriefied puchase on Amazon)Also in
