Mud Flower: Surviving Schizophrenia and Suicide Through Art

Along the way, the author describes the role of art in her survival, grappling with how the life force can be either nurtured or destroyed by elements in our environment, such as nature, beauty, and art versus dehumanization and coercion. Mud Flower: Surviving Schizophrenia and Suicide Through Arthas won numerous book awards including the Pencraft Award for Literary Excellence, the Literary Titan Award, the Firebird Award, International Book Awards Finalist,and First Place of the Book Fest Award.
