Having written a bestselling book at 22, survived a harrowing
battle with anorexia nervosa, and pursued a successful career as a
clinical psychologist, Lucy Daniels has led a remarkable life. In
With a Woman's Voice: A Writer's Struggle for Emotional Freedom,
her first book in 40 years, Daniels shares the experience of
overcoming emotional hardships and gaining valuable insights from
them, through psychoanalysis, that has enabled her to help others.

force-feedings. It was during this time that she wrote Caleb, My
Son. Caleb, My Son became a national bestseller, earning accolades
for its portrayal of racial and generational conflict in the South
of the 50s. Her second book, High on a Hill, was a fictional
account of the time she spent in the hospital. Her novels won her a
Guggenheim fellowship and extensive praise. After this early

the difficult years that led up to them, with insight, humor, and
wisdom. Daniels provides a moving account of
