Brain on Fire is an immediate New York Times bestseller and award-winning memoir that delves well beyond its captivating medical mystery to tell the moving story of a woman's battle to reclaim her identity.
Susannah Cahalan, 24, had no recollection of how she got there when she woke up alone in a hospital ward, chained to her bed and unable to move or talk. She had been on the verge of a new adult life only a few days before, starting her first committed relationship and pursuing a bright future at a prominent New York newspaper. She was now classified as crazy, dangerous, and a flight risk. What took place?
Cahalan recounts the amazing real tale of her spiral into madness, her family's inspirational belief in her, and the almost-missed diagnosis that saved her life in an incisive and moving account.
