"An award-winning memoir and instant New York Times bestseller that goes far beyond its riveting medical mystery, Brain on Fire is the powerful account of one woman&#8217;s struggle to recapture her identity.When twenty-four-year-old Susannah Cahalan woke up alone in a hospital room, strapped to her bed and unable to move or speak, she had no memory of how she&#8217;d gotten there. Days earlier, she had been on the threshold of a new, adult life: at the beginning of her first serious relationship and a promising career at a major New York newspaper. Now she was labeled violent, psychotic, a flight risk. What happened?  In a swift and breathtaking narrative, Susannah tells the astonishing true story of her descent into madness, her family&#8217;s inspiring faith in her, and the lifesaving diagnosis that nearly didn&#8217;t happen. &#8220;A fascinating look at the disease that . . . could have cost this vibrant, vital young woman her life&#8221; (People), Brain on Fire is an unforgettable exploration of memory and identity, faith and love, and a profoundly compelling tale of survival and perseverance that is destined to become a classic."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
