But Still I Smile: Surviving Insanity

Handcuffed in the backseat of a County Deputy's squad car, Carrie Jacobs is transported to a psychiatric hospital in the middle of the night where she is strip searched and committed against her will. Her husband would later say he didn't know while her grown children would proclaim, "It's about time!" And although she has long lost her desire to go on living, Carrie suddenly finds herself determined to survive inside the suffocating confines of a mental ward, filled with dangerous and wacky lunatics. Drawing from the survival skills she was forced to learn as a small child growing up in an abusive family, the broken woman not only endures, 'the others, ' but to her horror, soon realizes that she has become one of them. Carrie's story of survival is told through laughter and tears, sarcasm and wit but you will soon find that there is nothing that she can say or do that will even begin to come close to the hilarious antics and tragic hopelessness of the ones she calls, 'the others.'
