Tess Dunn is feeling things, and she's sick of numbing it with the oxy. Instead, she's cracking open a vault that's held secrets, betrayals, and a hell of a lot of pain. In doing so, she hopes to let the light in - and maybe the love, too. Struggling with bipolar 1 disorder, borderline personality disorder, and ADHD, Tess is done feeling broken. She's done with 3 am nights. She's done with people who use her when they're drunk. She's done with leaving her ringer on in case the phone rings. She's done with feeling less than worthy. Welcome to the new Tess. The heartbroken, exposed nerve floating through Santa Cruz. The real, entire, flaws-and-all thing.
