Always Come Home - Tom Richards - Bog

Having attempted suicide in New York and accused of stealing $3 million, DAVID BLOOM travels back to his Irish home when informed that his father died. There, he encounters his ghost. Frightened, David meets his boyhood girlfriend, Irishwoman DOLORES. With her, he goes back to the farmhouse to prove to himself that he's sane. There, he sees not only his father but also his dead mother. Learning of this, and certain that he is psychotic, his Ex-wife checks him into a local Psychiatric Ward against his will. Prescribed incorrect medication, David will be released only if he proves his sanity. But with release pending, and learning that Dolores had died years before, David knows that he will stay imprisoned forever. Based on a true story, this novel helps people to understand the horrors of involuntary psychiatric admission. It also applauds the work of those campaigning for the rights of psychiatric patients and their families.
