Jackie Garrison is a local, self published author. Her book, Timeline Memoirs of a Bipolar Christian, that will be published in January, tells the story of her mood swings, manic highs, and depressive lows.
Garrison's writing tackles the stigma against bipolar disorder. She hopes that through her honesty other people that struggle with mood altering disorders will be able to go seek help. She wrote the book with the purpose to help others because when she went through her episode she felt as if she wasn't helping anyone.
