Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. [10], 244, [2] pages. The dust jacket has slight wear and soiling and a crease at the bottom back. Virginia Holman is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize, a Roslynn Carter Mental Health Journalism Fellowship, and a North Carolina Arts Council grant. Rescuing Patty Hearst won the 2003 Outstanding Literature Award from the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. Virginia Holman's memoir, Rescuing Patty Hearst: Memories from a Decade Gone Mad, is not about the 1970s heiress hostage-turned-radical who renamed herself Citizen Tania. Hearst is instead a metaphor for Holman and her family, who were at the same time being taken hostage by her mother's untreated schizophrenia. Booklist's Vanessa Bush wrote that 'in this searing memoir . Holman draws parallels between the uncertainty and craziness of the times and the dislocation within her own family.' A Philadelphia Inquirer reviewer said that the book offers readers 'a clear idea of what mental illness looks like to a child. It turns out to be confusing, infuriating and frightening.' 1974 was a bad year to go crazy, Virginia Holman writes in this astonishing, beautiful, and painfully funny memoir of life with her schizophrenic mother in a disintegrating decade. In May 1974, one year after Patty Hearst and her captors robbed Hibernia National Bank, a second kidnapping took place, far from the glare of the headlines. Virginia Holman's mother, in the thrall of her first psychotic episode, believed she'd been inducted into a secret army. On command of the voices in her head, she spirited her two daughters to the family cottage on the Virginia Peninsula, painted the windows black, and set up the house as a field hospital. They remained there for four years, waiting for a war that never came. At first, it was easy to explain away her mother's symptoms in the context of the changing times -- her mother was viewed as 'finding herself' in the spirit of the decade. When challenged about her delusion of the secret war, she invoked the name of Martha Mitchell. When she exhibited florid psychosis, her aunt, influenced by Hollywood's smash hit movie The Exorcist, seriously suggested that an exorcism might be in order. Even after she was hospitalized and diagnosed with schizophrenia in the early 1980s, Holman's mother retained just enough lucidity to appease caseworkers in a system seemingly more concerned with protecting a patient's rights than with halting the progress of a woman's desperately dangerous illness. Rescuing Patty Hearst is an unflinching account of the dark days during which Holman's family was held hostage by her mother's delusions and the country was beset by the folly of the Watergate era. It is a startling memoir of a daughter's harrowing sojourn in the prison of her mother's mind. And, finally, it lingers as a moving portrait of a young woman defined by her mother's illness -- until at last she rekindles a family love that had lost its way.
