Brain on Fire (10th Anniversary Edition): My Month of Madness

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING CHLOÃ‹ GRACE MORETZ

An award-winning memoir and instant New York Times bestseller that goes far beyond its riveting medical mystery, Brain on Fire is the powerful account of one womanâ€™s struggle to recapture her identity.

When twenty-four-year-old Susannah Cahalan woke up alone in a hospital room, strapped to her bed and unable to move or speak, she had no memory of how sheâ€™d gotten there. Days earlier, she had been on the threshold of a new, adult life: at the beginning of her first serious relationship and a promising career at a major New York newspaper. Now she was labeled violent, psychotic, a flight risk. What happened?

In a swift and breathtaking narrative, Susannah tells the astonishing true story of her descent into madness, her familyâ€™s inspiring faith in her, and the lifesaving diagnosis that nearly didnâ€™t happen. â€œA fascinating look at the disease that...could have cost this vibrant, vital young woman her lifeâ€ (People), Brain on Fire is an unforgettable exploration of memory and identity, faith and love, and a profoundly compelling tale of survival and perseverance that is destined to become a classic.
