A beautifully written treatment of a powerful subject, Fitzpatrick—whose symptoms included extreme depression and self-mutilation—writes movingly and honestly about his affliction and inspires readers with his courage, joining the literary ranks of Terri Cheney (\u003cem\u003eManic\u003c\/em\u003e), Augusten Burroughs (\u003cem\u003eRunning with Scissors\u003c\/em\u003e), Marya Hornbacher (\u003cem\u003eWasted\u003c\/em\u003e), and Susanna Kaysen (\u003cem\u003eGirl, Interrupted\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A harrowing journey from self-destructive psychosis to a cautious re-emergence into the flickering sunshine of the sane world….Fitzpatrick writes about mental illness with the unsparing intensity of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton but also with the hard-won self-knowledge of William Styron, Kay Jamison, and other chroniclers of disease, recovery, and management…. A must read, remarkably told.”\u003cbr\u003e—Wally Lamb, author of \u003cem\u003eI Know This Much is True\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021970424048,"sku":"9780062064028","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780062064028_p0.jpg?v=1763625677","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780062064028","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
