From the day that Nick was born, he was his mothers joy. Danielle Steel shares her powerful story of her son. Nick had an illness called Bipolar, but for most of his life, neither he nor his mother knew what was wrong with him; maybe that's the reason why he is dead today. Nick's gift for writing was as extraordinary as his mother's, and it showed in his journals, where he bared his soul with uncanny insight, in searing poetry and song. In the end, life became too much for Nick, he committed suicide by taking an overdose of heroin. 

This book was very hard for me to read and review, because having had first a hand experience with the conflicts of Bipolar, I understood what Nick went through in his short life. Keep the box of Kleenex handy when you read this book.
