On a rainy night in New York City, twenty-something Morgan Hutchinson finds herself in the gold-lacquered bar of Bemelmans on the Upper East Side. 

The humid summer air is abuzz with promises of romance, heartbreak, and irrevocable change. In her debut memoir, Bipolar Blonde: A Dark and Delightful Story of Suicide, Soulmates, and Starting Again, Morgan invites readers to relive the highs and lows of falling in love during a manic episode, finding rock bottom, and learning how to rescue herself.

In Bipolar Blonde, Morgan Hutchinson, founder of the fashion brand BURU, pulls back the curtain on the polished life she’s built to share the unfiltered truth beneath it: a raw, redemptive memoir of living with bipolar disorder, surviving the dizzying heights of mania, and crawling back from rock bottom.

At the heart is a love story that unfolds across a glittering window of time out and about in New York, where romance and mania blur into something intoxicating before the lights go dark. With the same candor and warmth that turned BURU into a community, Morgan traces her descent into suicidal darkness and the hard-won work of rescuing herself, offering readers not a tidy recovery arc but an honest companion for the parts of mental illness we’re still afraid to say out loud.

Arriving November 2026 (pre-sale in June), Bipolar Blonde is for anyone who’s ever smiled through the storm, and a clarion call to finally talk about mental health with openness, honesty, and humor.

About Morgan Hutchinson:

Morgan Hutchinson is the founder and designer behind BURU, a fashion brand she built from the ground up after becoming a mother and finding that stylish, practical, washable clothing simply didn’t exist. Drawing on her background in styling and lingerie design, she and her husband Brett created everything from their own factory – one sewing machine at a time. Morgan designs every BURU collection with the belief that comfort, washability, and style should coexist across every phrase of motherhood – and yes, there will always be pockets. Morgan currently resides in Los Angeles, California with her family.
