From Here is a collection of twenty-two short stories exploring the lives of people who battle a range of psychiatric disorders as they search for empathy and understanding in a complex and little understood world.
The collection opens with a frightened homeless man who meets a well-intentioned social worker. In another story, a woman explains why she amputated her hand. A teenaged girl fights anorexia, and a young man tries to care for his incarcerated mother. The last story returns to the characters in the first, examining their encounter from the social worker's point of view.
With compassion, respect and a sense of humor, From Here seeks to describe what it means to be touched by mental illness, and how the experience can completely alter one's path in unexpected and powerful ways.
