"Compelling and engrossing ... Robinson is an accomplished writer
with a poetic bent, a born storyteller." -- Pamela Spiro Wagner,
"Divided Minds"
"If the past is any guide to the future, today we can be certain of
only one thing: The day will come when people will look back at our
current medicines for schizophrenia and the stories we tell to
patients about their abnormal brain chemistry, and they will shake
their heads in utter disbelief." -- Robert Whitaker, "Mad in
America"
'With a few brief flashbacks to her younger self in childhood, the
reader sees through Robinson's eyes how her situation developed and
witnesses the thought patterns manifesting as she matures,
attempting to logically describe the turmoil transpiring within
her. The way Robinson describes the Other (the voice, as she calls
it) shed a light for me on how a seemingly rational person is
capable of having incredible irrational thoughts - possibly leading
to irrational actions. In other words, if you have ever wondered
how a person with a conscience could actually do a heinous act,
whatever act you can conjure in your mind that is the most cruel
thing a human can do, this book will provide an answer - and
conscience really has naught to do with it." -"The Divine Guide
Within"
