NEVER-MORE is a brilliant study of a woman's suicide as seen through the eyes of those most intimate to her - her husband and her (3) animals. From the very first lines, the reader is immersed in the universe of this woman's mental health as she confronts and struggles with its disintegration. With a descriptively simple syntax and unadorned wording reminiscent of Emily Dickinson, Chrissy allows the reader to understand this mental and physical agony, and to empathize with that complex of emotions that yearn for a release of this solitary confinement. NEVER-MORE is a work of power, poignancy, and utter originality. - JUDITH ROSE RN
