An award-winning memoir and instant "New York Times" bestseller
that goes far beyond its riveting medical mystery, "Brain on Fire"
is the powerful account of one woman's struggle to recapture her
identity.
When twenty-four-year-old Susannah Cahalan woke up alone in a
hospital room, strapped to her bed and unable to move or speak, she
had no memory of how she'd gotten there. Days earlier, she had been
on the threshold of a new, adult life: at the beginning of her
first serious relationship 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.
