PROTECT YOUR MIND

At nine, Dr. Edith Langford was accidentally shot in the back. Decades later, after repeated medical racism that included waking during her own surgery, she became the therapist others turned to when life threatened to overwhelm them. Part memoir, part psychology, part case file, Protect Your Mind is a road map for remaining whole in America today.
