Publisher's Synopsis
The Prayer: Journey into Madness is a book about recovery from psychosis. Celebrating the life of Daniel's one-time girlfriend, Judy, who passed away in unfortunate circumstances at the age of thirty six, the book continues the story of The Chicken Shop Incident and charts the years that follow that event.
Weaving between memories of Judy and memories of mental illness, we watch as Daniel relates his experiences since the devastating altercation that took place in 2006, and reflects on his time with a remarkable lady who finally helps him to understand his state of mind, in strange communications from beyond the grave. The book treats the interplay between Daniel and the many friends he made - and lost - along the way, to tell a tale that culminates in a revelation engendered by the coronavirus pandemic, and marks the end of an era.
