Ventura County residents lobbied three decades for a four-year public university and seized the opportunity when what had once been the nation's largest mental institution closed in 1997. This revised edition of Sones's highly praised poetry/novel (her first publication) closely relates to Sones's personal history, and the Afterword explains how her older sister (at 19) was placed in a mental institution with manic-depressive illness when Sones herself was 13 years old. Girls who resisted this domestic regime, and/or who behaved inappropriately in other ways, could be transferred to the infirmary, workhouse, asylum or mental institution. |
