About this ebook
Bi-the-Way is the second collection of poetry by Missi McLaren.
After doing several years of healing work on herself, the author speaks openly about being diagnosed as a manic bipolar at a young age.
She reaches an extremely dark side in this collection and uses her poetry as therapy to promote her own healing. With wry humor and honest thoughts, she hopes that people will find the work relative to the struggles of anyone dealing with mental illness.
