A Forest Dark

Philip Hyde wants to be a poet. Despite it being an unpopular choice with his family, things are looking good — until he is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Unable, or unwilling to accept the diagnosis, his mind becomes overrun by illness, transforming the sensitive young man into something else …

When nothing seems to help, pushed to the brink, he blends Mindfulness Meditation with modern western medicine as a potent tool of healing.

In that place, he discovers what that 'illness' has to teach him about himself, and the very nature of the mind.

A meditation on the power of one's own mind to heal. A Forest Dark is a bildungsroman of unique importance.
