Book About Insane Asylum to Change View
LETTERS FROM THE LOONEY BIN author Thatcher C. Nalley hopes to inspire people to accept others by stepping outside of their own minds and into the mind of others.
Online, August 22, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The new book, LETTERS FROM THE LOONEY BIN, takes the reader on a personal and human journey of what goes on inside the minds of asylum patients. Although the stories are fictional, there is a human spirit that the author feels is real.
After working for more than six years at the Butte County Behavioral Health Department Thatcher C. Nalley has personally witnessed the inside world of mental illness.
Thatcher also worked as an educator at a Rape Crisis Center and as an educator for a Child Abuse Prevention Program.
Set in the 1970's, LETTERS FROM THE LOONEY BIN is a collection of letters from thirteen different patients of the Emerson Rose Asylum. Each letter tells of the patient's childhood experiences and how it is that they came to be a patient at the asylum. Although this is a fictional piece, Thatcher hopes it can aid in creating a new generation that will better understand and accept those we may not understand just because they are "different" from us. "We tend to get so caught up in why we don't that person instead of asking why we should like that person."
The author has also written THE LUNATIC MEMOIRS, a book she hopes as well will take the reader in the mind the character Jack Downing. A man who is wealthy and also believes God has sent him to take over the world.
LETTERS FROM THE LOONEY BIN and THE LUNATIC MEMOIRS are both available on Amazon in paperback and ebook.
