R. Burrow

R. Burrow grew up in a small, hilly town in West Virginia. Before graduating high school, she began to suffer from symptoms of schizophrenia and would continue to struggle with the illness for the next ten years of her life. After years of living a quiet home life, she felt a sudden and strong desire to tell her story. It was then, at age thirty-one, that she began to write about her experiences, in the hope that it would educate and inform others from the rarely heard point of view of the patient.
