Synopsis
Banning Lyon was your average 15-year-old, living in Dallas, TX. He enjoyed skateboarding, listening to punk rock, and even had a part-time job. But in January 1987 his life quickly changed after a school guidance counselor falsely believed he was suicidal after giving away a skateboard. Days later he was admitted into a psychiatric hospital, and what he was told would be a two-week stay turned into 353 days that would change his life forever. Banning takes readers through his fraught relationship with his family, the abuse he suffered at the hospital, the lawsuit against the owners of the facility, and his desire to make sense of what happened to him. We witness Banning navigate the difficult landscape of trauma and his daily battle to live a normal life. After years of highs and lows that include being adopted by his lawyer and mentor, falling in love and grieving the death of his fiancee, and being sued by the same doctors who abused him, Banning decides to take control of his life and finds hope in the back country of Yosemite National Park, where he discovers his purpose for being a backpacking guide. Through friendship, nature, and eventually giving therapy another chance, Banning finds the strength to keep moving forward. The Chair and The Valley is a raw, gut-wrenching, and amazing story about healing from your trauma and starting over. It is a testament to the power of chosen family, the restorative power of nature, and the strength it takes to show up for yourself every day.
