About the Book

Running with Unicorns: What I learned from a lifetime of helping my sister with her mental illness proposes that some brains may function in a unique manner. A unicorn is the perfect symbol to depict the strength and power of these individuals. The author wanted to keep the flow of text uncluttered and not get drawn into normal thinking and behavior. The world wants to make all individuals part of the herd; trying to fit them into society as we currently know it; trying to cure them so that they will be accepted. The question is: should they be cured or should we learn how to help them, acknowledge their special talents, and minimize their fears? In 2016, a site called the Secret Unicorn Blog was written by Archie McPhee. He says that, The unicorn uses its weapons of strength, creativity and audacity to instigate change. The unicorn does not use the opinions and desires of others to decide what it should do, it goes by an inner compass defined by taste, decency, intelligence, and whimsy. Chances are, if you've had your world changed by something, that something was created by a unicorn.
