Fall to Pieces by Mary Forsberg Weiland

This is a memoir written by the wife Scott Weiland, lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots and later Velvet Revolver.

Mary discusses her various symptoms of trouble such as a deep depression that would keep her in bed for days, a hot temper that would cause her to fly off the handle unexpectedly, and an overdose. Eventually, after throwing Scott's clothes out onto their driveway and setting fire to them Mary was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Weiland takes us through her ups and downs and discusses with great candor her life, her love affair with Scott, and her amazing fight with addictions that could have ultimately killed her.

I very much enjoyed reading this memoir and I am not usually one to read this type of genre. I find her writing and telling of the amazingly volatile and tempestuous life she had been leading to be very refreshing. You will feel very sad and despondent reading Mary's tale but you will also find yourself feeling ever hopeful for this troubled soul too. I would highly recommend Fall to Pieces to any readers.
