A fight against the dark
From 2013 to 2017, the narrator was periodically interned in a psychiatric ward where she was subjected to electroconvulsive therapy. As the treatments at this “factory” progressed, the writer’s memories began to disappear. What good is a writer without her memory? This novel, based on the author’s experiences, is an eloquent & profound attempt to hold on to the past, to create a story, to make sense, & to keep alive ties to family, friends, & even oneself. Moments from childhood, youth, marriage, parenting, & divorce flicker across the pages of October Child. This is the story of one woman’s struggle against mental illness & isolation. It is a raw testimony of how writing can preserve & heal.
