In the Absence of White Rabbits is an examination of Sarah Caldwell’s deteriorating psychosis, her relationship with her psychiatrist, and the discrepancies
between what she experiences and what she communicates to her doctor.
An outstanding student in mathematics with a promising academic career, Sarah first sees the psychiatrist under a doctor’s recommendation, not fully believing there is anything significantly abnormal about her state of mind. As her struggle to understand and overcome her increasingly controlling inner world becomes too much to bear, she spirals into a habit self-destructive behaviour.
In an attempt to overcome her loneliness, Sarah shares her day with two imaginary companions, Laura and Kayla, each of whom has a particular role of protector to play.
Strong, interpersonal dynamics weave together a story of depression, confusion, loneliness, hope, and friendship.

About Me
- Alma Taylor
- I wrote a novel. But, alas, I am not a writer and so cannot get published. But I would like my book to be accessible. So, this blog is where I will post chapters. If you are impatient and would like to purchase the actual book, you can find it at Lulu. I have proofread the book once or twice, but things are always missed, so technical criticism is welcome. Constructive criticism is also welcome, but trolls are not. My overall goal is posting the story here is that people suffering from a psychiatric illness might find therapeutic strategies and philosophies that are helpful to them. And some hope as well. Because of the subject matter, I strongly encourage anyone who is suffering from depression to not get overly consumed with the story. If you feel suicidal for any reason (hopefully not because my writing is so horrible), please contact someone. 1 800 SUICIDE
