Publisher's Synopsis
A journey through psychiatric incarceration in a time of conflict: Joe is locked up, largely against his wishes, as were many people in Ireland whose families didn't want to have to care. Coercion was the daily diet as he looked into himself and wondered how he came to this place. In parts this is a story and in parts it is a study where the reader gets to decide who is right and who is wrong.
To the uninitiated, this is a portrayal of an inner turmoil in a place of turmoil that will leave you wondering why these psychiatric institutions were allowed well beyond Dickensian times.
