and a promising career at a major New York newspaper. Now she was labeled violent  psychotic  a
flight risk. What happened?    In a swift and breathtaking narrative  Susannah tells the
astonishing true story of her descent into madness  her family’s inspiring faith in her  and
the lifesaving diagnosis that nearly didn’t happen. “A fascinating look at the disease
that...could have cost this vibrant  vital young woman her life” ( People )  Brain on Fire is
an unforgettable exploration of memory and identity  faith and love  and a profoundly
compelling tale of survival and perseverance that is destined to become a classic.
