A Sea of Lego & Lavender
by Sarah Small
Devastating losses, resilience and wry grit.
ABOUT THE BOOK
In this raw and powerful memoir, a woman grapples with her first manic episodes amid life-altering upheavals—a crumbling marriage, a cheating husband, and the loss of her beloved grandmother. As her world unravels, she finds herself thrust into the unforgiving confines of mental institutions, where the promise of help often delivers more harm than healing.
With unflinching honesty, the author recounts her harrowing journey through the mental health system, exposing its flaws and the traumatic impact of involuntary hospitalization. Yet amid the darkness, she discovers an inner strength she never knew existed.
“A Sea of Lego & Lavender” is a testament to human resilience, chronicling one woman’s fight to reclaim her sanity and sense of self. It offers a critical look at society’s approach to mental health crises while illuminating the transformative power of self-care, mindfulness, and personal choice in the face of life’s most challenging moments.
