And summer burned on. Time was as slow as frozen molasses in the moment, and yet it slipped by quickly. Like the tides, Time did not stop but moved relentlessly forward.
I was adrift, carried along.

Quiet and unworldly Imogen has spent twenty-four years locked in a mind hell-bent on her demise. Isolated from her peers by the oddities of her mental illness, she's more acquainted with counsellors' and doctors' offices than classrooms or house parties. On the precipice of graduating from university and happy with her boyfriend Jesse, Imogen can finally see the possibility of a normal future.

When an unwanted pregnancy threatens her well-being and compromises the medication she depends on, Imogen is plunged into darkness. Time impassively marches forward as Imogen faces motherhood. At her weakest, Imogen must choose to fight for herself and win the battle in her mind.

Achingly unapologetic, Elysian Fields gives readers a glimpse into mental illness and how it's lived out in today's cultural labyrinth.
