As a child, Kitt O'Malley already had her future mapped out.

Working hard to fulfill her parents' dreams of attending Harvard only to receive rejection letters from all the top Ivy League schools, she spiraled under the pressure of feeling like a failure.

Thinking of herself as a burden to her family and unworthy of living, the desperate college freshman was on the brink of ending it all.

Battling through her depression while hiding behind a convincing façade, Kitt earned a master's in psychology just to suffer a traumatic breakdown at age thirty.

With a new bipolar diagnosis, the courageous woman struggled to be the best mother to her precious son, overcome internal stigmas, and forge a spirited path toward understanding and self-love.
