First draft preview — Deone's new site, in progress
DEONE GRAHAM

Author · Oceanside, California

You are not alone.

That is the job of this site, in Deone's own words: "Let readers know they are not alone."

Deone Graham writes memoirs of survival and faith — a life lived behind masks, and what it took to lay them down.

My story

I suffer with Borderline personality disorder BPD. It has made my life crazy. But it doesn't have to stay that way. I say in my book don't stop stitching because your pattern is not done. The pattern is your life. There is help out there. Living with BPD is hard work. I'm living proof you can survive and thrive with BPD.

"I want the hard topics on. That's what is going to help people. Knowing someone is willing to talk about the hard stuff."
