Overwhelmed by the stress of her professional life and the self-scrutiny it inspires, she begins to destabilize and . . . her mania takes hold. When her parents intervene, she finds herself hospitalized against her will, and stripped of the control she felt she had finally reclaimed.

One where she can live the life she wants, finding freedom and autonomy, without sacrificing her dreams in order to stay well"--Provided by publisher.
