What if you stayed?

It is the question, I sincerely hope that anyone who has ever considered leaving this world will ask themselves.

As a tortured poet (is there any other kind?), I am too familiar with the harrowing forest of depression. The disturbing noises that go bump in the starless depths of your consciousness. The whisper of your inner saboteur that desperately wants to convince you that you will never survive to see the light.

This book is dedicated to anyone living in the shadow of the moon. It is for all of us with wild hearts, whose minds cannot be tamed. "By the Light of a Two Faced Moon" is the debut poetry collection by Jessica Reynolds that fearlessly delves into the darkness of mental illness. It is a vulnerable exploration of bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, love, heartbreak, healing, magic, and everything in between.

P.S. I hope you stay.
