Originally published by Harcourt, Brace and Company in 1957.
The story of Dr. Jack Ferguson, a man who battled drug addiction and had repeated psychotic breakdowns, but recovered and became a physician. He was determined to help the so-called incurably insane and mostly forgotten mental patients at the Traverse City State Hospital through experimental drug therapy, and in the process changed the way the mentally ill were treated.
