Sharp : a memoir / David Fitzpatrick. - 1st ed. - New York : William Morrow & Co, c2012. - 354 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.

Presents the story of a young man who began his life with a loving family and great promise for the future. But in his early twenties, David Fitzpatrick became so consumed by mental illness it sent him into a frenzy of cutting himself with razor blades.

It started a difficult battle from which he would later emerge triumphant and spiritually renewed.
