Charismatic, beautiful Sally Flynn was the center of her daughters' imaginations, particularly Laura's. Without warning, life as they knew it changed as paranoid schizophrenia overtook Sally. Whether it was accusing Laura’s father of trying to win her over to the side of Satan, or buying only certain products that were evil-free, glimmers of her mother’s future paranoia grew brighter as Laura’s early years passed. Once her husband left the family and filed for divorce, Sally’s symptoms bloomed in earnest, and the three girls united in flights of fancy of the sort their mother had taught them in order to deflect danger.

Wonderfully descriptive and emotional memoir
Revisado: 07-08-15
I enjoyed the author's re-telling of the stories she created with dolls as a child paralleling her confusing and chaotic world as a child. As a psychotherapist, I search out stories that better help me understand diagnoses from a humanistic perspective: a way for me to understand better what my clients or family of clients might be feeling regarding mental illness. It also helps me give insight to clients who may be going through simile situations which has proven to be very therapeutic. Thank you for sharing this heart-felt story about your love for your mother.
