Please join the Mount Carmel St. Ann's Women's Auxiliary Council for an evening with New York Times bestselling author Susannah Cahalan, whose award-winning memoir, Brain on Fire, explores her struggle to recapture her identify after waking up alone in a hospital room, strapped to her bed and unable to move or speak, with no memory of how she'd gotten there.
Days earlier she had been on the threshold of a new, adult life: at the begnning of her first serious relationship and a promising career at a major New York newspaper. Suddenly she was labeled violent, psychotic and a flight risk.
Susannah will share the astonishing true story of her disease, her descent into madness, her family's inspiring faith in her,and the life-saving diagnosis that nearly didn't happen.
It's a story so compelling that it's now being made into a major motion picture produced by Charlize Theron that will arrive in theaters in 2016.
The Mount Carmel St. Ann's Women's Auxiliary Council is an active, faith-based group dedicated to supporting the mission of Mount Carmel St. Ann's, the communities it serves, and the nearly 4,500 babies welcomed by the hospital each year. Proceeds from this special event will support the critical needs of these babies and their mothers.
