The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness

The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness (2007) by Elyn R. Saks. This extraordinary memoir tells the story of Saks' struggle with schizophrenia and psychosis throughout her adult life, and of her ultimate victory -- that of finding a respected profession, making many valued friends and colleagues, and finding love. It's a scary ride, to be sure, but will prove rewarding to the thoughtful reader. Grade: A
