Description
Barbara O'Brien's autobiography is a powerful and thought-provoking account of her descent into schizophrenia and her journey back to sanity.
For six months, she travels around the country on Greyhound buses, at the mercy of the Operators, who push and pull, torment, confuse, and exhaust her. Yet, in the end, she gains a profound understanding of what has been happening to her.
With a writing style that is both eloquent and humorous, O'Brien describes her psychosis with penetration and satisfying imagery, revealing the inner workings of her mind and the healing process that follows.
