A Room without Walls is a memoir detailing my life after being diagnosed with a series of mental disorders. The memoir's narrative is stream of consciousness and poetry. The audiences I hope to reach with this novel are those who have mental illness, addiction, and those who have loved ones afflicted with these conditions. I also hope to reach a young adult audience, with the intent to reduce some of the stigma associated with mental illness. Other novels that have been published on the subject are Prozac Nation, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, and Girl Interrupted.About the Author: Mariah Rackliff is a graduate student at Southern New Hampshire University, where she is working on obtaining her MA in English Literature/Creative Writing. She began writing at the age of 13, which coincidentally was the onset of her mental illnesses. Mariah hopes that people will read this memoir, relate to some of the experiences, discover things about themselves, and then tell their own stories to the world. It is her hopes that the world will become more accepting of peoples' difference.
