Juliann Garey
In her tour-de-force first novel, Juliann Garey takes us inside the restless mind, ravaged heart, and anguished soul of Greyson Toddâ€”a successful Hollywood studio executive who leaves his wife and young daughter for a decade to travel the world, giving free rein to the bipolar disorder heâ€™s been forced to keep hidden for almost 20 years. The novel intricately weaves together three timelines: the story of Greysonâ€™s travels (Rome, Israel, Santiago, Thailand, Uganda); the progressive unraveling of his own father seen through Greysonâ€™s childhood eyes; and the intricacies and estrangements of his marriage. The entire narrative unfolds in the time it takes him undergo twelve 30-second electroshock treatments in a New York psychiatric ward.
