| Abstract: Before Julie Callahan came to the house at 9 Highland Road in Glen Cove, New York, she had spent a good part of her young life in mental hospitals, her mental and emotional coherence nearly destroyed by a childhood of sexual abuse. Fred Grasso, a schizophrenic, had lived in a filthy single room occupancy hotel. At 9 Higland Road they and their housemates were given a decent alternative to lives in institutions or in the streets. It was a place in which some even found the change to get better. This perfectly observed and passionately imagined book takes us inside one of the supervised group homes that, in an age of shrinking state budgets and psychotropic drugs, have emerged as the backbones of Americas mental health system. As it follows the progress and setbacks of residents, their families, and counselors and notes the embittered resistance their presence initially aroused in the neighborhood, 9 Highland Road succeeds in opening the locked world of mental illness. |

| Title: A Place Beneath the Pipal Tree |
| Author: Greta Rana |
| Edition Year: 2006 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Fiction |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This novel describes the three generations of Sherpa women, the men in their lives, the times they lived in, and the dilemmas they faced. While not over romanticising the past, when it was originally written it could almost have been prophetic in its misgivings about the future in an environment governed by status and taboo, in which women have to work hard to achieve the respect that should be their birthright. |
