Mental illness was not going to permanently control her life: Lily Farmer was determined about that. For eight years she battled the rage, the terror, the fantasies, and the hallucinations of schizophrenia--and won. Torn apart by the attitudes of her church and school, Lily found wholeness through faith, knowledge, and treatment by caring psychotherapists. Similar to Sybil and I Never Promised You A Rose Garden in its dramatic style, Lily, Be Free goes farther than telling a story of victory over mental illnes. It describes principles applicable to many individuals striving for inner freedom. The book's overall message? Through knowing the Truth, peace and joy and freedom are possible: keep seeking.
