Memory of An Artist – Journey of the Self – Ruth Poniarski

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books/ 8 Comments/ 856

To try to describe this book in a short review would be nearly impossible. At least for me. At times this memoir left me gutted and wondering how on earth this woman managed to survive and write a book detailing her mental illness. She has Continue reading →
