Ashes to Dust: A Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781738970612)

What adventures and stories would your dehydrated mind create? This is a true story about how shrimp led Ash down a metaphoric rabbit hole when food poisoning deprived her of nutrients and sleep. It tells a tale of what her mind created. Fun for readers, but don't be fooled! It's a cautionary tale of how quick ones life can go from normal to tragic and imprisoned when a hospital fails you. What should have been a simple case of IV fluids, turned into a horror of abuse, neglect, and false imprisonment when one doctor sent Ash to a place she didn't need to go-the psych ward. Ash went from a normal, happy-go-lucky person with no mental health issues to scarred and traumatized with PTSD, panic attacks and so much more. It's a tale that can happen to anyone. But this tale is for you. Unfiltered. Ash's suffering shouldn't be wasted, no matter how dark it got. Can you see the horrors of the hospital through the imaginative overlay of back stories her mind created? In the end will you root for her to be able to get justice and sing again? Support her or not, that is up to you, reader. Enjoy her painful adventure.
