The Girl on the Bridge: A Memoir
In August of 1978, a deeply troubled girl of fourteen turns her back on an abusive, dysfunctional family and walks away for good. Leaving her Lakeview home, she crosses the Queen Elizabeth Way at the Ogden Avenue footbridge and unwittingly starts a journey of survival and self-discovery that would last another fourteen years and end with her confronting her past and exorcizing the demons spawned there.

"This remarkable memoir is not about treatment; it's not about schizophrenia. It's about one person's experience with schizophrenia and her subsequent recovery. It's also an exquisite, sensitive, and painful rendition of a struggle against almost impossible odds. It says very much about the human spirit and how a person with determination can overcome what is commonly referred to as 'an incurable brain disease'. In my forty-six years of practice, as a psychologist, psychotherapist, and researcher dealing with this difficult disorder on a daily basis, I have never ever heard such a unique story of full recovery from schizophrenia without medication."
