This groundbreaking novel is based on Mary Jane Ward's personal experiences in the Rockland State Hospital (here renamed Juniper Hill) after suffering a nervous breakdown.
This is the story of Virginia Cunningham who has suffered so complete a nervous breakdown that she is out of her mind.
It is the story of her slow and painful return to sanity, told by herself.We see the treatment she is given through her own eyes--hazily and incoherently at first, for she cannot grasp what is done to her, nor recognize the faces round her.Then the writing keeps pace with the growing lucidity of the mind and shares the patient's restless rebelliousness when she thinks she is better than she really is.Finally there is complete return to normal and the happiness of release to rejoin her husband.
