The Moon Is Broken: A Mother's True Story

Ann Craig was an honors student at an Ivy League university until, seemingly overnight, she suffered a mental breakdown, was hospitalized, and was put on suicide watch. She refused further therapy and fell into the drug culture of New York. This poignant account resonates with the ironic pain of a gifted therapist unable to heal her own beloved daughter.
