At school, Delano was the model student, earning straight-As, a national squash ranking, and elected president of her class; at home, she unleashed all the rage she felt, lashing out at her family and locking herself in her bedroom, contemplating her death. Delano's initial bipolar diagnosis marked the beginning of a life-altering saga."--
