Pieces in Her Mind

The book Pieces in Her Mind is a thought compelling book about a school teacher from eastern Kentucky. This autobiograpy tells about her episodes and experiences with mental illness. She battles with coping skills to help her through rough times. Some of the things that made her ill were things that she experienced with people that had misbeliefs about her. Her symptoms were so severe that she had to seek help from doctors and family members. She finally almost loses the battle when she has to enter a personal care home to become better. Poverty and her illness drives her into a home that has patients somewhat like herself. This book dicusses how living in a personal care home is tireless even on the healthiest of individuals. She often is at a loss to what might happen to her next. I think you'll find this book about Pamela Combs interesting because it tells about events all through her life as a child and adult. It portrays honesty to the reader.
