This book is her story, told by her after her recovery from an autoimmune brain affliction. Much of her story is recreated from diaries kept by her family and tapes of her from the wards of the hospitals where they struggled to find the cause of her baffling transformation from a successful career as a journalist to a paranoid, frequently seizing, psychotic patient. She was erroneously thought to be an alcoholic, a drug addict, a schizophrenic.

She was close to being written off as a hopeless psychotic and institutionalized. For those with the family who have been lost in the mental health world or the world of rare baffling illnesses, you will recognize the fear, the agony, and the despair. This is a Great story which reveals how into the darkest, darkest, most hopeless places, healing occurs, and growth occurs, and serendipity bestows its blessings.

We need all the help we can get to raise awareness of Autoimmune Encephalitis and reading this book is a great place to start.
