Nuthouse

The year is 1970. The “Summer of Love” was only three years before. The “Woodstock Generation” is in full bloom. Mike Ridley has a job working the night shift at the State Mental Hospital...the men’s section of Pima Ward...“Psycho Central.” Only fourteen months earlier, Ridley awakened in restraints on the floor of the Phoenix Police Station, battered and beaten by two hits of green double-dome acid... his mind hung out to dry on Main Street in Hell. Now he’s in charge of a whole ward of patients who are clinging to reality...just as he is himself. What he finds behind the walls of the State Mental Hospital is much more than he expected...a doorway to something far greater than his fragile and fractured eighteen-year-old mind could ever imagine...
Nuthouse is a mad, sometimes irreverent, yet profoundly mystical story that combines humor, hope and Native American spirituality...a story taking place in the most unlikely of settings...where a child of the Sixties discovers a Path on which he learns the greatest lesson of his life...that the answer to all of his deepest fears is "to let things happen as they will..."
