To all intents and purposes, Eleanor Longden was just like every other student, heading to college with a spring in her step and without a care in the world. That was until the voices in her head started talking. Initially innocuous, these internal narrators became increasingly antagonistic and dictatorial, turning her life into a living nightmare. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, drugged, and eventually discarded by a system that didn't know how to help her, Longden tells the moving tale of her years-long journey back to mental health, and makes the case that it was through learning to listen to her voices that she was able to survive.
