About the Book
MAD COW comprises a life cut up and pasted together, fragments of an individual who is stitched and moulded via detailed thoughts, incoherent ramblings and insightful art. This autobiography is a collage of experiences and emotions to convey a fractured mind that is striving against the darkness yet encountering moments of sublime – albeit, transient – light. My account is candid and personal, ranging from a tone that is heartfelt and pugnacious to reveal a girl’s journey, her life oscillating between ordinary occurrences and unusual situations. My life is my own, here in print; however, it may be representative of many. This diary was initially composed in an effort to gain closure, yet it reveals the discovery of happiness following a battle with the demons of anorexia, depression and self-harm. Hopefully, by bringing my story into the public domain, I can build a distant rapport with others who have experienced similar struggles, or indeed, can shine a light on such issues, whilst maintaining that I am just an everyday person. Doing so would be a kind of projecting my voice and reaching out, so to speak. These writings can also be rather playful and celebratory of love and hope for the future; here is a voyage which can be painful, though fuelled by jauntiness and an inherent optimism at times. I have combined the very bad times with the very good – and the bits in between – which is what living is essentially all about.
About the Author
The author is a 24 year old adult/(child!) residing in the UK. In spite of the emotional troubles she has encoutered, including severe anorexia, depression and self-harm, she is still quite a quirky individual with a pure lust for life! She likes to write often and paint voraciously in order to convey her disposition and through this book, Mad Cow, she hopes to reveal this desire as well as open up an avenue to let others into her mind and gauge her changeable personality. She lives with her fiance of nearly 5 years and has a happy relationship with family. She also loves anything purple and likes collecting interesting wigs! Leanne Bitrowa is somewhat happy....for now!
