Allie is addressing a HUGE and too often silent audience. Between 2.5% – 3% of the population suffers from this poorly understood condition. Portrayals, though popular in books and movies, often leave out the suffering and mention of how common it is. This condition does not discriminate, affecting people of all walks of life, yet shame silences. This is something that might even affect your doctor, your local police officer, the aeronautical engineer you work with, etc. Those affected need stories like 'Dancing in the Storm' because stigma, hopelessness, isolation and social misunderstanding create an additional suffering for those affected and their families. Ignorance and misinformation are obstacles in recovery. Silence in the face of the condition means it is not possible to generate the interest for the necessary generation of specialists. Professionals, much like many affected, are unaware of the prevalence of the condition and that there are effective treatments that can return people to a fulfilling life.  For those affected, this book shows the playing field of available help options. For family members, it provides the chance to better understand their affected loved one. For society, it is a fun and different way of illustrating something that is so common, yet so hard to explain in words. It is an injustice that so few people know that in most cases, after just a few months, you can reduce suffering and be on your way to an optimal life. Accurate representations such as 'Dancing in the Storm' must be brought to society.
