Mariah Rackliff is a graduate student at Southern New Hampshire University, where she is working on obtaining her MA in English Literature/Creative Writing. She began writing at the age of 13, which coincidentally was the onset of her mental illnesses. Mariah hopes that people will read this memoir, relate to some of the experiences, discover things about themselves, and then tell their own stories to the world. It is her hopes that the world will become more accepting of peoples' difference.
