Told with vivid and often disturbing detail. From serving remand jail time, and forward to further hospitalisations, there are many rises and falls.

Related with honesty, determination, and fascinating anecdotes this account by a farmer, factory worker, CE Scheme employee and poet veers from ordinary to heart-breaking tragedy.
