As the treatments at this \"factory\" progressed, the writer's memories began to disappear. What good is a writer without her memory? This book, based on the author's experiences, is an eloquent and profound attempt to hold on to the past, to create a story, to make sense, and to keep alive ties to family, friends, and even oneself. Moments from childhood, youth, marriage, parenting, and divorce flicker across the pages of \u003ci\u003eOctober Child\u003c\/i\u003e. This is the story of one woman's struggle against mental illness and isolation.
