review 1: What a moving story of emotional and mental healing as a young woman faces her fears and past. The main character was a university librarian who spent her life organizing and keeping life controlled. She begins to see her life falling apart and becomes very depressed only to find herself in a mental hospital, unable to get to the root of her depression. Through an unusual event, she finds herself unravelling the difficult memories.It was a touching and surprising story. All of the Lynne Hinton novels I have read so far as very moving as they deal with real life.
review 2: This is a fairly good book about a librarian who suffers from Chronic depression and ends up committing herself to a sanitarium. While there she strikes up a conversation with her next do... moreor patient neighbor who is a convicted murderer.they talk through the ventilation system. They talk for several nights about their lives. Lathin, the murderer, finally gets Andreas to open up about the tradegy in her life that sunk her in to deep depression: the drowning of her Cousin PeeDee when they were 13 years old. One day she wakes up in her room. The attendants tell her that her time with them is over. She asks about the guy next door, but everyone denies that there was ever anyone there. Andreas has to decide if there ever was anyone there or if she dreamed it all up. Regardless, she feels more her self that she ever has. She leaves the sanitarium and takes up her life with goals and objectives to accomplish. This was a fairly good book about moving on with your life. less
