This book was recommended to me by a psychiatrist I met at the dog park. I read everything I can find on mental illnesses to help me better understand my daughter’s diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Armed with this new information we have another appointment scheduled with a neurologist. And for the first time I have some hope. Thank you for writing this book!

This book was like therapy for me. It helped me realize that I’m not alone and also gave me insight into the disease Autoimmune Encephalitis. I appreciate Susannah for telling her story and allowing us to be apart of her journey. As I continue my recovery, I will remember this book and all the things I have highlighted.

I’ve always been fascinated by stories like this and this one is hands down my favorite.

What a wonderful surprise! I loved this book did not want it to end.

I had this illness for 13 months starting in 1967 and ending in Jan 1968, while I was pregnant the whole time I was given every test including truth serum, tied to the hospital bed for 30 days, put on medication, which I still take today. No problems since then, and baby is now 51. Thank you for your story.

Loved it! I couldn't put it down once I started reading!

Mesmerizing. I knew from the moment I read it that it needed to made into a movie. And now it is. Cheers!

Stayed up all night reading this book! Great insight into what having a mental illness would be like and a surprising medical reason for the source of the disease. Leaves on wondering how many other mental conditions have an underlying physical source.

This is a great read. I throughly enjoyed the incredible and frightening journey this young woman lived through!
