In her novel, The Patient In Room 203, author, Elona Paja, takes us through a psychological thriller and into the mind of an obtuse resident of the psychiatric hospital. The story is full of twists and turns, not much unlike the reality of many suffering patients that find themselves in similar long white hallways and cushioned walls in rooms much like that of 203. Ms. Paja slowly opens the door into the mind of one such person, in order that the rest of us may begin to understand how beautiful these patients truly are and that we might appreciate their sacrifices for us. And in the process, we meet a hero who lives inside that cushioned room.
