Inside page: The story of a 16-year-old girl wo retreats from reality into the bondage of an imaginary kingdom. It is a beautifully written novel that tells of her momentous struggle, aided by a brilliant psychiatrist, to regain the real world.

Back Cover: Seldom has the strange and seductive world of insanity been charted more explicitly, or more beautifully, than in this novel -- this shining story of a young girl's 3 years in a mental hospital and her journey back from madness to reality.
