Description: "This book tells the story of Sally, Michael Greenbergs daughter. At the age of 15, she was struck mad. It begins with Sallys visionary crack-up on the streets of Greenwich Village, and continues, among other places, in the out-of-time world of a Manhattan psychiatric ward. This book is the chronicle of that journey, and its effect on Sally and those closest to herher brother and grandmother, her mother and stepmother, and, not least of all, the author himself. Among Greenbergs unforgettable gallery of characters are an unconventional psychiatrist, an Orthodox Jewish patient, a manic Classics professor, a movie producer, and a landlord with literary dreams."--Publisher details.
