"I don’t think I’m insane. I don’t want to be. Am I merely in denial of my insanity? As we know, denial is its own form of insanity. So, I’m insane for believing that I’m sane and not insane. Right? If you’re confirming my insanity and you’re insane too, can we be normal together? Because if you’re sane but I’m insane, I don’t want your company. And if you’re insane but I’m sane, feel free to drop by whenever I’m bored. You entertain me. Don’t stick around too long, though. You exhaust me." -from page 61 of Robyn Alana Engel's InSanity
Author of International Award-Winning memoir, Woman on the Verge of Paradise, delivers another hearty dose of sweet love, painful heartache, and all the feels for which-as Engel admits-words don't suffice. She explores the toughest of issues--suicide loss, psychosis, overwhelming guilt and ultimately, self forgiveness. Readers are also privy to many a weirdly hysterical dating scenario, workplace toxicity, and bizarre life events that most people have experienced--e.g., the unbalanced therapist who clearly needs professional help, the obnoxious neighbor who has no life except to closely monitor your postal deliveries, the suitor who brings their beloved pet on every date, people who talk far too much about that which you never wanted to so much as feign a smidgen of interest--not even in your sleep.
Meanwhile, you'll join Robyn on a refreshingly intimate search for the line between "sanity" and "insanity." You'll shadow this sassy seductress as she muses the difference between these concepts. Is there a difference? Is this even a worthy venture? Why does society place these labels on members of the human family? Is love a cure-all? (Hint: It's not, but it sure helps.)
"She writes like Stephen King," states Author and US Navy Veteran Ken Lynch. "Never before has a book so completely changed my viewpoint on mental illness and suicide (with the exception of Moby Dick). InSanity has really sunk its teeth in me."
"Engel's wicked humor makes for a page turner filled with colorful observations of therapists (she is one herself), relationship conundrums as a single woman, clergy, religion, politics and troublesome neighbors. Although her comments are often tart, her essential vulnerability and courage shine through." -Silona Lynne Reyman, PhD, Author of Musings of a Ghost Mother. "It's her best book yet, and I loved it," Reyman adds.
The author's bold perspective and furious heart, mixed with an intoxicating writing style, keep readers hooked. She's sharp tongued and petty at times, and she owns this. Robyn Engel's level of self awareness has been likened to the ghost of George Carlin dancing naked, alone and in front of huge mirrors.
Alongside Robyn you'll arrive at a glorious trifecta: human grit, benevolence, and one man who isn't weird. Well, he doesn't seem weird. Not yet anyway. She can't find red or pink flags. Might JT change her narrative? He's nice, and perhaps kindness matters most of all. In fact, maybe kindness is all that matters. At any rate, Robyn Alana Engel takes care of her readers and provides plenty of reason for hope, self forgiveness, and optimism. "Crazy," after-all, can be a positive state of mind.
“If you are after sunshine and roses, this book is NOT for you. If you can cope with suicide, pain, grief, frustration and anger with a generous helping of laughter and hope, come along for a dramatic, no holds barred ride...”
—Sue Goldberg, Blogger, Elephant’s Child
