Helpful Score: 2

This account of a woman's life as she tries to cope with her mental illness was very compelling. I was amazed with the progress that has been made in treating and understanding mental illnesses in just the past twenty years. Lori Schiller's experience also gave me insight into the world of torment where many people live--even when they are being treated for their illness. I also liked that Schiller included chapters from other perspectives: her family members and her doctors. These accounts provided insight to both Schiller's experience and the struggles that her family and caretakers endured. If you know someone with a severe mental illness or if you work with people who suffer from mental illness, it is a must-read!
