You Don't Know Crazy

Wambui Bahati, a.k.a. John-Ann Washington, shares a powerful, personal
and important story about mental illness, self-esteem, self-love and
courage. She was born and raised in the segregated south during the
1950s and 1960s and has sprinkled the narrative with significant national
historical events, and how they personally effected her life. She invites us
in for a behind the scenes look at her years as an actress on Broadway and
in national touring shows.

At times hilariously funny and always relentlessly honest, You Don't Know
Crazy presents an intelligent, informative portrayal of bipolar mood
disorder and its effects on Bahati's self-esteem, career, relationships and
day-to-day coping.

Wambui also reveals exactly what she did that allowed her to reclaim her
life, and she encourages the reader to understand that each and every one
of us has an innate wisdom and strength that may have either been
forgotten about, or the knowledge has been lost as to how to tap into that
inner wisdom and strength. This book will show you how to find that within
yourself, and reclaim your own life.

She went from Broadway star to welfare mom - Some said she was dead - She was homeless - Others said she was on drugs - She was told she would spend her life in and out of mental institutions - She was told her children could no longer live with her.

When it seemed like her life couldn't get any worse, she decided she only
had two options - she could either live, or she could die. If she lived, she
told herself it would be on her own terms.

For the past 10 years she has researched, studied and explored various
'quality of life' altering strategies. Her mission was to find out how to have a
life of joy, peace and fabulous health - the best life possible! This inspiring
woman not only 'got up' when everyone thought she was 'out for the count',
but rose to new heights, and continues to soar. You Don't Know Crazy
gives you the inspiration and tools that will allow you to soar too!
