[Sharon · Rating 3 out of 5]

despite being published 40 years ago, the book provides valuable insight for self-reliance and self-healing. I could relate to her problem marriage and need for autonomy. It seems just as relevant today as it was then.

An honest account of a woman with serious psychiatric issues. I found it very interesting and would recommend it if you are interested in reading about a real woman who is going mad.
