Elyn Saks does a beautiful job portraying a largely misunderstood and stigmatized mental illness. This book balances the delicate line of being hopeful without minimizing the pain of her experience. I would totally recommend it to anyone who is looking for a glimpse into the mind of someone experiencing severe and persistent mental illness.
