This captivating storyline is filled with a unique blend of humor and poignant moments and is guaranteed to not only provide the reader with a few good laughs but instill a deep sense of hope and inspiration as well.The story will attempt to unlock the mysterious dark door of institutional living so that we can experience what it is like to be trapped inside of the State system and how the staff who work with these clients day after day manage to maintain their sanity. So c’mon, climb aboard, and take this incredible journey with me, and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you see along the way.
