LeFavour's intimate account of her relationship with her psychiatrist is intensely compelling, forthright, and brave. Did he overstep? Was he somehow pulled in by her beyond what was therapeutically appropriate or helpful? This is a fascinating memoir in a category of its own.\"--Dani Shapiro\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a young college graduate a year into treatment with a psychiatrist, Cree LeFavour began to organize her days around the cruel, compulsive logic of self-harm: with each newly lit cigarette, the world would drop away as her focus narrowed on the blooming release of pleasure-pain as the burning tip was applied to an unblemished patch of skin. Her body was a canvas of cruelty; each scar a mark of pride and shame. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn sharp and shocking language, \u003cem\u003eLights On, Rats Out\u003c\/em\u003e brings us closely into these years. We see the world as Cree did--turned upside down, the richness of life muted and dulled, its pleasures perverted. The heady thrill of meeting with her psychiatrist, Dr. Adam N. Kohl--whose relationship with Cree is at once sustaining and paralyzing--comes to be the only bright spot in her days. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eLights On, Rats Out\u003c\/em\u003e describes a fiercely smart and independent woman's charged attachment to a mental health professional and the dangerous compulsion to keep him in her life at all costs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cree Lefavour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.80w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802125965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2017 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2017 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2017 pg. 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCree LeFavour\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several cookbooks, including the James Beard Award nominated \u003ci\u003eFish\u003c\/i\u003e, published by Chronicle Books.
