Sunny Zielinski is an eccentric twenty-two-year-old woman who experiences her first psychotic break. Having just graduated from college and soon to be married, Sunny's life is on course. She lands her dream job as a book editor and is close to her family, particularly her fiercely loving grandparents-Holocaust survivors who raised her following the death of her mentally ill mother. But as the stress of the wedding intensifies, Sunny's anxiety and odd manner become more evident, exposing a fragile constitution. Ultimately, she succumbs to her predisposition toward mental illness, spiraling into the depths of psychosis. As her delusions, hallucinations and mood symptoms take over, Sunny traverses a devastating journey in which she believes herself to be a current victim of the Nazis. Sunny's mind fluctuates from being mercilessly hunted and abused to more lucid moments when her shame and disillusionment about being mentally ill, fierce determination to get better, and unique wit are revealed. Interwoven into the story are Sunny's relationships with her devoted family, her mental health team, and the colorful and often tragic patients she meets as she struggles to find her way out of the darkness.
