    About this ebook

    In the afterword to Two Hemispheres, McInnis describes her first encounter with the remarkable photographs that illustrate this moving volume. Patients of the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum, these women's names and stories are lost to history. McInnis imagines their experiences of mental illness as she explores her own journey through clinical depression, and finds in these haunting photographs solace and community. - See more at: http://www.brickbooks.ca/?page_id=3&bookid=175#sthash.7c9ocCaN.dpuf
