by Peter Thompson (Author)
A poignant exploration of sanity, madness, and the search for purpose within the walls of a mental institution.
Harrison Rhodes, a young psychiatric health worker, grapples with career choices and moral dilemmas during a summer at a New England mental hospital. Amidst the chaos and disillusionment, he encounters eccentric patients and struggles to make a difference in their lives.
As Rhodes navigates the complexities of institutional life, he questions his own sanity and purpose. Will he find meaning in his work, or will the weight of the bughouse blues crush his spirit? Perfect for readers seeking thought-provoking literary fiction with psychological depth.
