BACKGROUND:
The
inspiration for the story came from Sandie's beloved father who
worked in various psychiatric hospitals during short periods of his
career. In the attic of one such hospital, he made a disturbing
discovery - one that bothered Sandie so much, she had to create a
story around it. Though fiction, many parts of the book intertwine
the patient routines, treatments and outbursts that she learned from
her father and other research in a way that makes the story vivid
through Jeannie's perspective.
