Gracie is struggling with four months of treatment for mental illness in a public psychiatric hospital. Dealing with the guilt of having his wife involuntarily committed to this hospital, Albert is holding himself and their two young sons together on the outside. The reader is tossed back and forth between the mid-twentieth century mental health institution, primitive by today's standards, and an outside community rife with intolerance and void of support for patients' families. The story is based on the author's parents in their early twenties, the author's recollection of her mother's stories, and actual records from Augusta State Hospital.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cheryl Grant Gillespie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1732947120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781732947122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Androscoggin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.41d","brand":"Cheryl Grant Gillespie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126647746815,"sku":"9781732947122","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b568e494-a808-4dfc-9634-98440b498508.jpg?v=1687449358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gracie-albert-cheryl-grant-gillespie-9781732947122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
