520    "Heart Berries is a powerful, poetic memoir of a woman's 
       coming of age on the Seabird Island Indian Reservation in 
       the Pacific Northwest. Having survived a profoundly 
       dysfunctional upbringing only to find herself hospitalized
       and facing a dual diagnosis of post traumatic stress 
       disorder and bipolar II disorder; Terese Marie Mailhot is 
       given a notebook and begins to write her way out of 
       trauma. The triumphant result is Heart Berries, a memorial
       for Mailhot's mother, a social worker and activist who had
       a thing for prisoners; a story of reconciliation with her 
       father-an abusive drunk and a brilliant artist-who was 
       murdered under mysterious circumstances; and an elegy on 
       how difficult it is to love someone while dragging the 
       long shadows of shame. Mailhot trusts the reader to 
       understand that memory isn't exact, but melded to 
       imagination, pain, and what we can bring ourselves to 
       accept. Her unique and at times unsettling voice 
       graphically illustrates her mental state. As she writes, 
       she discovers her own true voice, seizes control of her 
       story, and, in so doing, reestablishes her connection to 
       her family, to her people, and to her place in the world."
