    About this ebook

    At 17 Anahita leaves her war-torn country to take refuge in Canada, where she can feel, taste, touch, and smell freedom with every fibre of her being. Throughout many years of working hard trying to achieve her dream of becoming a prominent physicist, she struggles with depression, culminating in a manic episode which leads to a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. This story depicts the reality of living with a mental illness while achieving professional success, and it demonstrates how mental health issues can affect personal relationships.
