“A riveting and painfully honest account, Beautiful Wreck not only demonstrates the importance of humor and perseverance in the face of mental illness, but also affirms the power of self-reinvention.”

Twenty-five year old Stephanie Schroeder arrived in New York City in 1990 with edgy good looks, attitude to burn, and undiagnosed bipolar disorder. Schroeder reads from her unflinching memoir which chronicles her trajectory through the worlds of queer political activism, corporate America, intimate partner violence, unwilling parenthood, erotic discovery, 9/11, and three attempted suicides. Repeatedly falling through the cracks of the U.S. healthcare system, Schroeder became her own advocate, found help, and began a healthier life.

Space is limited! Please RSVP by emailing mgoff@astraeafoundation.org. First 25 RSVPs will receive a copy of the memoir.

The Astraea office is wheelchair accessible; please contact development@astraeafoundation.org if you would like additional information.
