Escaping Insanity

By Heather R. Little

Maggie Bosworth's mission to protect her future and spare the country is inconveniently derailed when she's arrested for setting fire to her boyfriend, Connor Presley's car. This dire predicament is aggravated by her being the twenty-four-year-old daughter of Senator John Bosworth, who is only months away from receiving the Democratic Party nomination for President. His approach to handling the situation is to negotiate a deal for Maggie to be secretly remanded to the Wood River Psychiatric Hospital for a thirty day involuntary confinement. Maggie is well-acquainted with Wood River, having first been admitted at sixteen when a catastrophic event launched her into the depths of depression. Five years later, the doctors had narrowed their diagnosis of her emotional maladies to Bipolar II Disorder, a label she wears without shame, much to her polished parents' dismay. To cope with this unexpected month-long incarceration, cynical Maggie relies on the distraction of an apprehensive med student, Aaron Miller, who is blundering through his psych rotation at Wood River. Aaron's normalcy is strangely alluring in her world that has always been anything but normal. Once Maggie is released back into the wild of D.C. she has to decide if Connor can be forgiven, if her relationship with her mother can be salvaged, and if she should step in to save America from the tyrannical control of her father. She has ammunition to use against him, but can't discern the appropriate firing method. And if there aren't any better options for President, why bother? All she really wants is to be some anonymous citizen in any other town in any other part of the country, but her covert attempts to undermine a Presidential campaign may permanently eliminate that possibility.
