Summary | "June 1994. Twenty-year-old Daniele wakes up in a hospital room surrounded by strangers. Slowly, memories of the previous night return to him: a spiral of anxiety and anger, an explosion of violence so intense that it almost inflicted irreparable damage on him and his family. To his horror, he learns that he's been sentenced to a week of mandatory treatment in a psychiatric ward. Drawing from his own personal experience of mental illness, and writing with lucid realism and stunning emotional force, Everything Calls for Salvation tells the story of the seven days Daniele spends in the hospital as he struggles to find a way out of the darkness. Daniele finds unexpected companionship in his fellow patients--men, who, like him, have felt the full brunt of life's pain. Together they will realize the hidden strength and value of their common fragility and discover a boundless fount of empathy."- |
