Identity Crisis

one family's experience of manic depression

By: Sally E. Dalglish

No mother has endured four children with the manic-depressive gene for 36 years, and, in league with one of her offspring, written about the lack of inhibition, horror and vigilance accompanying extreme moods. This is a candid study from insiders of the communication breakdowns, medication, red tape, misunderstandings and suicide of one family member. Sally and Simon are survivors, and Charles, though suffering highs and lows is too quick-witted by far to get entangled with the medical world. Mum's mother, Dandan, "e;never approached anything directly. She was feline in her inconsequential tangent-like approach to something upon which her mind was set like a vice."e; Alex was often mistaken for a doctor at the nurses' parties where he worked and was much admired as an artist. Deranged, he was unable to admit himself to a mental hospital and wrought havoc in his dream house. "e;Mum awoke to a thunderous racket. All the doors in the house were forcibly banged and torn open and banged again. There was a noise of shattering glass and china and heavy footfalls pounding on the stairs. Mum's heart beat loudly. She breathed heavily. She knew Alex would not hurt her when he was himself. He was a gentle being. Now he was certainly not himself. She cowered under the bedclothes."e; Mum, who had to contend with her indomitable mother and innumerable harrowing experiences could still, aged 98, say, "e;I've had many happy days in my life."e;

Watchman's Garden

By: Sally E. Dalglish

It is twenty years since he planted seven thousand trees in the Garden Of Dreams and not one has died. The Watchman's key that opened the door to the magical garden has been lost to time. Elise commands the Garden, accompanied by Aliya and Kahgahgee the raven. Lulach Thane of Moramor, Justin, Victor, Sam and Basir are joined by Wayne, Alim, Ziya, Ghazi and Sabih on their voyage of adventure and discovery, as they search for what they seek where land and water meet and separate. A magical tale of dreams and hopes raised and dashed, of inspiration, laughter, music and imagination on the quest of the icosahedron that is the key to the Watchman's Garden. Travels overland to India and the hospitality received in Pakistan inspired this story, which was written in a single sitting and worked on forty years later.

The Water Garden

By: Sally Dalglish

We are water gardens 75% water, made in the image of the Earth whose surface is 75% water. Every cell of our bodies is sustained by plain water, with a dash of salt. Within each of us, carried on these inner oceans is a reflection of our God. Sally Dalglish, friends and Guides offer an illustrated anthology of poems of beauty and humour with a plea for recognition of the lowliest element in the Water Garden. All royalties received from the sale of this book will be donated to WaterAid. WaterAid is the U.K.'s only major charity dedicated exclusively to the sustainable provision of safe domestic water, sanitation and hygiene education to the world's poorest people.
