A dual memoir of a mother's and daughter's triumph over
mental illness The Johnsons were a close and loving family living in the
Seattle area - two parents, two incomes, two bright and
accomplished daughters. They led busy lives filled with
music lessons, college preparation, career demands, and
laughter around the dinner table. Then the younger daughter,
Linea, started experiencing crippling bouts of suicidal
depression. Multiple trips to the psych ward resulted in a
diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and it took many trial runs
of drugs and ultimately electroshock therapy to bring Linea
back. But her family never gave up on her. And Linea never
stopped trying to find her way back to them. Perfect Chaos is the story of a mother and daughter’s
journey through mental illness towards hope. From initial
worrying symptoms to long sleepless nights to cross-country
flights and the slow understanding and rebuilding of trust,
Perfect Chaos tells Linea and Cinda’s harrowing and
inspiring story, of an illness that they conquer together
every day. It is the story of a daughter’s courage, a
mother’s faith, and the love that carried them through the
darkest times.
