This book is a wonderful look into the mind of a young girl who hears voices. But more than that, there is an entire world within her head, with it's own language, landscape, gods, and most importantly, rules.
We watch Deborah as she meets the other women in the ward, talks with her psycologist, and tries desperately to become cured.
I love this book. I mean love it with my heart and soul love it. I discovered it in my HS library and since then I have tried to read it at least twice a year. The vivid characters, engaging story, and fantastic writing style bring me back every time. I think everyone should read this book.
