Summary

"... A Rocky Start feels like a potential classic: an authentic treatise on the state of America's mental health establishment and the help or damage it metes out to people who desperately need its services, written by someone who knows that world intimately, from inside both its real and perceived walls. Fisher describes A Rocky Start as "a candid and rare look into one particularly complex life." It is that and more. Fisher's natural intelligence drives the narrative, engaging the reader with its authenticity. Once immersed in the experiences of this mentally ill everyman, one finds a full portrait of Fisher's struggle to overcome agony, anger, and humiliation while navigating treatment programs and trying to emerge with his basic dignity intact." (Barbara Bamberger Scott Foreword Review)
