NAILING JELLY TO THE CEILING

Life is full of possibilities, we’re told. We are encouraged to reach out and grasp them. But what happens when life seems to present us with an overload of impossibilities? For some of us, all we can do is try to cling on as we slowly and painfully lose our grasp on life itself. There are some things we just cannot control. Nailing Jelly To The Ceiling searingly illustrates this truth, whether you believe it or not. It is a deeply personal, brutally honest account of painful events that impacted the author’s life over a long period of time.

Mental health is a complex, diverse subject and despite positive anti-stigma campaigning and acceptance discourse prevalent in modern culture, often remains an unwelcome topic for discussion. The reality of living with mental illness is not easily put into words, but Laura Lee Dove has achieved precisely that, nurturing understanding and support for both those who suffer as well as those who don’t.
