Lithium Jesus: A Memoir of Mania

Charles Monroe-Kane grew up hearing voices in his head. Over a dizzying two decades, he became a teenage faith healer, world traveler, smuggler, halibut hanger, environmental warrior, and circus manager--all the while wrestling with schizophrenia and self-medication. In a memoir that blends humor and engaging charm with unflinching frankness, Monroe-Kane gives his testimony of mental illness, drug abuse, faith, and love.
