This is the first first person female narrative on a rare condition, Schizoid Personality Disorder. The memoir offers parents insight into how to prevent this maladaptation or tweak earlier intervention since this condition accounts for high levels of homelessness. SPD is a double whammy as parents may become a disabled child's lifelong benefactor. For the stricken or those feeling marginalized as "different," this work is a welcome mat that they are not alone. Clinicians rarely see this reclusive population and would value knowing more and this narrative is a boon to teachers, guidance counselors, family, and friends who are frustrated. Here's what Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Diaz had to say, "Eye-opening and hopeful and utterly sympathetic… Sorrel has opened an invaluable window into a world too few of us know anything about.” Finally, its message is a plea for greater tolerance as the ostracized lead harsh lives fraught with a litany of harassments beyond their control.
