Will There Really be a Morning? : An Autobiography

Acknowledged as one of the world’s most beautiful women and critically acclaimed as an actress, Frances Farmer suddenly toppled from stardom and plunged headlong into the terror-ridden world of the insane. In 1942, this sane and angry woman was comitted by her mother to a lunatic asylum. 11 years were spent in conditions of unspeakable brutality and squalor. Astonishingly, she survived and in the period before she died, she wrote this harrowing account of the Hollywood dream turned nightmare. Frances Farmer reaffirmed that despite the twisted nightmare journeys, life itself is something of value and a reason for survival. Her unadorned, searing narrative was completed a few days before her death.
