Maia Campbell was one of the biggest stars of the 90s. At 17, she was on NBC every Friday night. She starred alongside Tupac in Poetic Justice, appeared in Tyrese's Sweet Lady video, and had the whole world at her feet. Then she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder refused treatment, lost custody of her daughter, lost both parents, and was filmed in crisis at a gas station while millions of people watched and did nothing.

But here's what nobody talks about. Her mother — bestselling author Bebe Moore Campbell had already written a book about exactly this moment. A novel about a mother watching her daughter refuse every lifeline being thrown to her. She published it in 2005. Put it in every bookstore in America. And still couldn't save her own daughter. This is the full story of Maia Campbell the rise, the fall, the tapes, the gas station, and the comeback nobody saw coming.
