Publisher's Synopsis
A Rose in Stained Glass chronicles a journey "into deepening psychosis in a first-person account of delusions, close calls, and eventual self-knowledge." ... Bostonia Harmless.... Barrie Jacobson has just been released after a week in the hospital-the mental ward, to be exact. They never did figure out what she had. She's okay now, but a trip to Key West and its warm sea and blue sky would surely free her from the stress of that whole experience. She would get away, relax, and get her life back together.
But first, she needed to find some grass. She had quit cigarettes but still craved the high of marijuana...the harmless herb she'd been smoking for years and years. Welcome to Barrie's world-more bizarre than any asylum, full of Alice in Wonderland logic, palpable paranoia, beliefs based on twisted perceptions of people, permeated by mystical signs that command her actions...until she discovers a profound-and shockingly real-truth.
