Limbo: A Memoir About Life in a Nursing Home by a Survivor, Carobeth Laird, 1989, United States, MEMOIR

"...Nearly paralyzed and hopeless, and feeling trapped by a "body, with its relentless unreasoning instinct for survival [that] was at cross-purposes with a mind that could see absolutely no future," she begins to articulate her experience...Several months after her arrival in Golden Mesa, her manuscripts Encounter with an Angry God, and The Chemehuevis—both written after her seventy-fifth birthday—are accepted for publication, and Carobeth Laird remembers just why she wants to live again."
