When she gets the chance to go to an outofstate school, she takes it, but her family wont leave her be. Letter after letter arrives, constantly reminding her of the insanity rooted in her family tree. Even worse, the voices in her own head whisper words shes not sure are normal. Please dont make me be like Mamma, she prays to a God shes not sure is listening.The unexpected death of her father soon after she returns home leaves Paolina in shockand in charge of her paranoid schizophrenic mother. But it isnt until she is twentyseven and her sister two years her junior explodes in a psychotic episode and, just like Mamma, is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and must be committed, that Paolina descends into her own despair, nearly losing herself to the darkness.Poignant and impactful, Committed is one womans story of resilience as she struggles to stay sane despite the madness that surrounds her.
