First edition. The author was a child of the wide-open mining towns of the West; once Ellis was of age, she staked her own claim. Raising a family and tending to her livelihood was enough to push Ellis into a breakdown: Her writing provides insight into her life in the 1920s: sanitariums, fellow patients, and life in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Most importantly, her book reveals a dedicated effort to embrace positivity and humor in her uphill battle. In doing so, Ellis managed to transmute her experiences into literary merit.
