"The book is so good at showing the grinding wheel of mental illness. And the writing is so good. She doesn’t turn somersaults in a sentence. She does her job and you’re just devastated."

"A mesmerizing look into mental illness. Susan Sheehan is unsentimental but empathetic and this is an incredibly suspenseful book about one woman’s life. I also read authors like Kay Jameson and Oliver Sachs after reading this book."
