Girl, Interrupted

It's 1967 and 17-year-old Susanna Kaysen is like a lot of American teenagers her age confused, insecure, struggling to make sense of the radiply changing world around her. The psychiatrist she meets with (courtesy of her parents), however, gives this behavior a name Borderline Personality Disorder, ''manifested by uncertainty about self-image, long-term goals, types of friends or lovers to have and which values to adopt''- and whisks her away to Claymoore Hospital.

Here, Susanna discovers Lisa, Daisy, Georgina, Polly and Janet- a group of offbeat young women who not only become her closest friends, but light Susanna''s way back to something she had lost- herself.
