Author: Virginia Holman
Publisher: Simon & Schuster, March 6, 2003.
"Rescuing Patty Hearst [is an] unforgettable memoir. . . . Holman's gutsy prose bespeaks her survivor's backbone and hindsight." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Virginia Holman's mother suffers from schizophrenia. Her mind is not beautiful.
