520 # # |a Marie Etienne's first memoir, STORKBITES, was praised by the San Francisco Chronicle Book Review as a compelling memoir . . . Etienne's writing is fresh; her epiphany is clear, her ending is powerful and satisfying. Now she returns with a collection of outrageous true stories that are fast-paced, heartfelt, and brutally honest. 
520 # # |a CONFESSIONS OF A BI-POLAR MARDI GRAS QUEEN is filled with thematically connected stories that swing between hilarity and devastation. One of nine children growing up in a well-to-do family in Southern Louisiana, Marie Etienne spent decades risking everything in her search for happiness, sanity, and love. As an adult, her increasingly erratic behavior mirrored the drama of her upbringing and took its toll on her two sons. 
520 # # |a At 43, recently diagnosed as bi-polar and on the brink of suicide, her last-ditch hope was to come to terms with her deep-rooted feelings of fear, shame, and resentment by facing head-on who she really was, who she wanted to be, and what she was willing to do to make her life worth living. 
520 # # |a Etienne explores the themes of love versus lust, the legacy of abuse and mental illness, the impact of murder and suicide among her siblings, and the redemptive powers of faith, forgiveness, and courage. Marie Etienne has written a book that reveals the unstoppable drive of a woman determined to forge her own path through the world.
