Carrie Rolf in Tales of a Schizophrenic World: Tales of a Schizophrenic World

At the tender age of seventeen, Carrie makes a daring move and applies for her first real job at the local mental institution, carrying with her a secret from her past. No one is more surprised than Carrie when she's hired on the spot and introduced to a world of geriatric women who've been robbed of their dignity and left behind in a surreal setting, where the oddest, most haunting things happen. Then she's chosen to be part of a team that uses a controversial treatment program with men and women of all ages....and the games begin.Carrie's view of the world is forever changed by the diverse collection of people she meets at this unorthodox workplace, where convention is cast to the wind and a free spirited group of young people run the show. She becomes a teenage therapist and a fierce enforcer, working side by side with all the residents and their peculiarities, and always trying to believe that somehow it will make a difference, despite the yellowed files that tell the tragic histories of lives lost to the awful reality of full blown psychosis.Alek is the boyfriend who knows her secret. He toys with her heart the way teenage boys are known to do, but Carrie holds on for the ride of a lifetime as they explore the depth of their young love, in the era of the feminist movement and men walking on the moon.
