it was amazing

One of the best nonfiction books I’ve ever read… tirelessly and flawlessly reported, weaving together decades of the inhuman practices afforded to marginalized folks experiencing mental health crises with personal stories about the authors own experiences with mental health with, improbably, hope and feeling. I recommend to all.

Kristine Terrific Review. This was an Incredible Book. I agree, this is a Top Non-Fiction Book. Antonia Hylton did such an Outstanding Job laying out the long history at Crownsville Institute. She deserves much recognition.
