SUMMARY:Book Launch: Susan Doherty's The Ghost Garden
DESCRIPTION:Random House Canada invites you to celebrate the Montreal launch of The Ghost Garden by Susan Doherty.\nBooks will be available for purchase. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.\n\nAbout The Ghost Garden: \nSusan Doherty’s groundbreaking book brings us a population of lost souls\, ill-served by society\, feared\, shunted from locked wards to rooming houses to the streets to jail and back again. For the past ten years\, some of the people who cycle in and out of the severely ill wards of the Douglas Institute in Montreal\, have found a friend in Susan\, who volunteers on the ward\, and then follows her friends out into the world as they struggle to get through their days. \nWith their full cooperation\, she brings us their stories\, which challenge the ways we think about people with mental illness on every page. The spine of the book is the life of Caroline Evans (not her real name)\, a woman in her early sixties whom Susan has known since she was a bright and sunny school girl. Caroline had formed a close friendship with Susan and shared stories from her life; through her\, we experience what living with schizophrenia over time is really like. She has been through it all\, including the way the justice system treats the severely mentally ill: at one point\, she believed that she could save her roommate from the devil by pouring boiling water into her ear… \nSusan interleaves Caroline’s story with vignettes about her other friends\, human stories that reveal their hopes\, their circumstances\, their personalities\, their humanity. She’s found that if she can hang in through the first ten to fifteen minutes of every coffee date with someone in the grip of psychosis\, then true communication results. Their “madness” is not otherworldly: instead it tells us something about how they’re surviving their lives and what they’ve been through. The Ghost Garden is not only touching\, but carries a cargo of compassion and empathy. \nAbout the Author:\nSUSAN DOHERTY is a Montreal writer whose award-winning debut novel\, A Secret Music\, was published in 2015. She worked on staff for Maclean’s\, and freelanced for The International Herald Tribune\, La Tribune de Genève\, and The Independent in London\, and for eighteen years ran her own advertising production company. She has served on the boards of the Royal Conservatory of Music\, the Quebec Writers’ Federation and Nazareth House\, a home for those afflicted by addiction and homelessness. Since 2009\, she has volunteered at the Douglas Institute\, a psychiatric hospital\, working with people living with severe mental illness. She is married to the educator Hal Hannaford\, and has two children.
