Patrick J. Howell, a Jesuit priest, recounts his free fall into emotional and spiritual chaos. But he recovered from the breakdown with dignity and now uses his experience as an inspirational hope to those who are encountering mental illness.

Revealing his innermost thoughts of fears, doubts, and illusions, Father Howell describes the storm that he endured and how the healing powers of faith and psychiatry helped reduce his raging turmoil to a whisper.
