a suicide attempt…
Hannah
was told she would not make it to 25 with the way she was living. She
had struggled with mental illness her entire life, but at 22 her
demons came to a head at the grips of severe substance abuse,
life-changing trauma, and two major deaths in her life.
Hannah’s
struggles land her places no one ever hopes to grace; jail and psych
wards lead her to the brink of death. Running out of options she’s
left with two choices: live or die. This heart-wrenching memoir
combines recovery with bittersweet romance told in a raw presentation
that immerses the reader into the author’s dark state-of-mind in
every page.
Tiger
Stripes is going to add a valuable voice to the conversation about
women’s mental health issues.
If there is anything
Hannah believes in, it’s hope, but that wasn’t always the case.
For a long time, chaos was comfortable for Hannah, but at just 22 she
would have to make her hardest decision yet: was life really worth
living? Since picking up a pen Hannah has had a love for writing, and
as an adult it would become her greatest tool in healing from an
almost decade-long battle with severe mental illness and substance
abuse. Her first book, Tiger Stripes, is a harrowing, raw telling of
her year in and out of hospitals, treatment centers, and jail that
finally led her on the road to recovery and freedom.
Hannah was born in
Orange County, CA but has lived in the Los Angeles area for several
years. She now lives in West L.A. with her boyfriend. When she is not
writing she can be found reading, running, cooking, or finding the
best vegan eats in L.A.!
