Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Nancy Bachrach Dear Reader, My parents were in their fifties, asleep on their boat, when a carbon monoxide leak killed my father. My mother — whose prior medical history read like the chapter headings of a psychiatric manual — was on death's waiting list, in a coma. Yet somehow she survived. Then miraculously, the poison accomplished what lifelong psychotherapy had not: it cured her mental illness. Since then, I have to warn people, Don't try this at home. Thurber said that humor is chaos in retrospect. Looking back, our family tragedy revealed a dark comic underbelly and an unpredictable flipside. This is a memoir about bad medicine, enduring hope, and second chances. To win one of five signed copies, please contact me at www.nancybachrach.com. Happy reading!
