Description
This powerful novel plunges into the mind of Deborah, a sixteen-year-old girl who escapes the harsh realities of her life by retreating into a meticulously crafted, yet perilous, inner kingdom. The narrative chronicles her arduous three-year struggle for sanity, a journey marked by the creation of gods and demons within her own psyche. Through her relationship with a perceptive therapist, Deborah embarks on a painful but ultimately hopeful path toward self-understanding and a return to the external world. The author masterfully explores themes of mental illness, the power of imagination, and the profound impact of trust and empathy in the healing process.
