Thirteen Geese in Flight: One Black Woman's Ascent into Mental Illness (Paperback)
The last place Lisa Eley expects to be is a despondent patient in a psychiatric hospital on suicide watch fighting for her life. As an African American single parent from northwest Baltimore, Lisa knows knock-down, drawn-out hardships and resilient comebacks very well. She rises above every land mine life sets, detonating each with her quiet will and unyielding determination to defeat every adversity in her path. Faith and fate lead her to a new job with a leading agency, a pivotal success leap she thinks. What happens next will have this mild-mannered, upstanding citizen and worshipping Christian plot murder. This is a remarkable true story which reveals the mental and physical effects from the abuse of power through bullying and this strong woman's fight for healing and justice.
Lisa G. Eley is a lover of life at the intersection of bliss and peace. She worships at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church in Rockville, MD, has an affinity for adopting rescued dogs, and claims Texas by way of her favorite basketball team, the San Antonio Spurs.
