Inferno : a memoir of motherhood and madness / Catherine Cho.

"When Catherine Cho and her husband set off to introduce their newborn son to family scattered across the United States, they could not have imagined what lay in store. Before the trip’s end, Cho develops psychosis, a complete break from reality, which causes her to lose all sense of time and place. In desperation, her husband admits her to a nearby psychiatric hospital. In this unwaveringly honest, insightful, and often shocking memoir, Cho reconstructs her sense of self, starting with her childhood as the daughter of Korean immigrants, moving through a traumatic past relationship, and on to the early years of her courtship with and marriage to her husband, James. She masterfully interweaves these parts of her past with a vivid, immediate recounting of the days she spent in the psychiatric ward." -- Provided by publisher.
