Dancing with Chaos is a memoir. It is an eclectic tale that centres around themes of mental illness and medicine, travel and the struggles of a single mother. The main character is raised in poverty and uncertainty by a single mother who suffers from schizophrenia. Later, as a vulnerable teenager, searching for love and acceptance, she finds nothing but heartache. Then, as a young adult, she begins to discover that the world is actually a fascinating and sometimes wonderful place. Heartaches resurface as the genetics of mental illness unfold.
The author lives in a cabin in the hills of Northern California surrounded by meadows and forest. It is very much like what she had imagined as a little girl growing up in Manhattan. She lives with her husband and her adult son, who suffers from schizophrenia, and works locally in a small community clinic.
