I'm Not Supposed to Be Here: My Recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder  Uk  Can  by Rachel Reiland, Laura Paxton. The book was good. The first person narrative was excellent but a few times felt receptive. Its an excellent first book. Mrs. Reiland has a very clear voice, and knows how to use it. At times I felt she didn’t take responsibility for her actions. I hate the word “cured” in terms of mental illness. I will very much agree that she was better, but not cured. She even talks about having to be on guard for returning behaviors. I have heard from many of the sufferers of the BPD who said that it was very good and accurately portrayed the disorder. So if you suffer from the BPD this is a good read and will help you see your own way thru this disorder.

Morning, Come Quickly  Uk  Can  by Wanda Karriker MSW. I really enjoyed this book. This is work of fiction. The story revolves around a Therapist involving her search for the truth around her clients. I won't go further since this might ruin the story for you. What I enjoyed is the fact that she used common mental health terms. If you are either a mental health practitioner or a client you will enjoy this book. If I had any criticism is that I wish she had described the beauty of the N.C. Outer Banks better, but then again I get homesick at times. I look forward for Mrs. Karriker next book.
