by Cree LaFavour
“Lights On, Rats Out is unlike anything I’ve ever read―a
powerfully, staggeringly honest book that is excruciating in places, and also
completely haunting. 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
