Books Descriptions
At the age of 15, during one long and difficult summer, Michael Greenberg?s
daughter, Sally, was struck mad. Her visionary crack-up occurred on the streets
of Greenwich Village and continued, among other places, in the lost-in-time
world of a Manhattan psychiatric ward during New York City?s most sweltering
months.?Hurry Down Sunshineis Greenberg?s journey toward comprehending
mental illness in his own family. With touching honesty and intimacy, he
reveals the effect of Sally?s mania on those closest to her, including her
easygoing brother, her stalwart grandmother, her new-age mother, her artistic,
loving stepmother?and, finally, on himself.?Unsentimental, nuanced and deeply
humane, Hurry Down Sunshine is a transcendent memoir about mental illness
and the restorative power of one father?s love for his daughter.
