The Superior Act of Presenting Your Teeth to Strangers

<p>In this gripping memoir we walk alongside MD Marcus as she follows orders stands in line and bides her time during a couple stints at a mental health facility. In the halls she witnesses what it is that those who are deemed crazy or unsafe to themselves or others are subjected to undertake: group therapy announcing ridiculous delusions-lying to make it seem like they are ready to go home. Unable to get her shoelaces back until she asks MD Marcus then lets us into her mind's deepest darkest secrets. A place that may be too real and honest for some readers to stomach especially when her mental state becomes most challenged by her sister's cancer diagnosis. But in the truth lies healing and in healing lies a way forward. By the end we are ready to travel home with her at long last and continue forth anew and enlightened. </p>
