background
The inspiration for the story came from Sandie's beloved father who worked in various psychiatric hospitals during short periods of his career. In the attic of one such hospital, he made a disturbing discovery - two human cages and chains hanging from the rafters. This bothered Sandie so much, she had to create a story around it to share the atrocities surrounding past treatments. Though fiction, many parts of the book intertwine the patient routines, treatments and outbursts that she learned from her father and other research in a way that makes the story vivid through Jeannie's perspective. This book is intense and involves choices that young girls often have to endure, even today.
