VA treatment over the years was basically pills for depression, bipolar and manic episodes. When I was little, shock treatments were administered by the VA. Chemical Imbalance?...maybe just an imbalance from all the chemical exposures. Adults and children are given all of these labels implying that they are flawed, that they have mental illness...why can't people just wake up and smell the chemicals. I myself am quite chemically sensitive...meaning that my body, mind and spirit do best when not exposed to chemicals (example perfumes, aftershaves and colognes). Does anyone's body actually do well when around chemicals???????????????????

It wasn't on my radar until our Random House rep sent me a copy, and then I wished I'd heard of it so much sooner. This will easily make it to my best-of-the-year list. You've written a fantastic review that captures the book much more wholly than I was able to. I’m jealous that you read this back in September!

However, Greenberg didn't come across as "isn't this a terrible thing; don't you feel sorry for my daughter and our family". He did a great job describing what was going on through his eyes - his confusion and frustration. What a tough situation! Ladytink – yes, well-written but sad.

I do recommend it; not a light read. charley – it was sad, but compelling (well-written, honest … and I especially appreciated Greenberg not trying to put himself in Sally’s shoes and tell her story; similar to David Scheff’s *Beautiful Boy* in that respect … the father keeping his distance).
