“Book Descriptions: Mental illness can be raw, intense, and terrifying, yet it is recognizable to almost everyone. Whether you are a family member or friend of someone who struggles with their mental health, or you yourself live with a disorder, you will find a connection in the pages of "Love and Theft." From social anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, it’s here. "Love and Theft" powerfully illustrates a variety of mental illnesses, while tracing Patten’s own battle with the lesser known schizoaffective disorder. At times comic, dark, and always moving, this memoir is about the casualties of mental illness, and the raw humanity that runs beneath.” DRIVE
