Summary:
Suffering from severe depression after her eighteen months living disguised as a man,
Vincent
felt she was a danger to herself. On the advice of her psychologist she committed herself to a mental institution. Vincent’s journey takes her from a big city hospital to a facility in the Midwest and finally to an upscale retreat down south, as she analyzes the impact of institutionalization on the unwell, the tyranny of drugs-as-treatment, and the dysfunctional dynamic between caregivers and patients.--From publisher description.
