‘Promise me you’ll never tell anyone. This can just be our little secret.’
 

Fourteen years ago, Adam Waddoups made his father a promise – and for fourteen years, he’s kept that promise, keeping to himself the secret that could so easily rip the fabric of his family apart.

But keeping secrets comes at a cost for Adam, and he is tortured by the memories of the past, trapped in a cycle of guilt that regularly plunges him into episodes of depression and mania, which push him dangerously close to the edge.

 

When Adam is diagnosed with bipolar disorder – a diagnosis which is later adjusted to the lesser known schizoaffective disorder – and referred to a psychotherapist, he is forced to confront the demons of his past – and to finally admit the truth, allowing him, at last, to shape a more positive future for himself.
