Story
1875 Poet and lighthouse keeper, Phillis Monroe, deeply enjoys the solitude necessary to explore the spiritual and mystical side of life. She loves how her half sisters call her the mystic of Mystic, Connecticut. So why is she this eager to pursue the boxer from the Pequot reservation in Noank? Benjamin Baker, known as Awahsohs to his tribe in Noank, and as Bear to nearly every boxer from New York to Boston, is caught in a fight beside his uncle’s church.

A very interesting concept. Wish literally anyone else would have done something with it. Very similar writing style to E.L. James (not a compliment). Dialog was unnatural, clunky and unintentionally awkward. It was often hard to tell who was speaking, as well as character motivations. This is not the computer reader's fault!! It genuinely had nothing but hot garbage to work with.
No character arc. Just a choppy meandering stream of "thought". Characters monolog past each other rather than actually speak to one another. Frequently characters would ask each other questions and they would ignore each other. The "poetry" rarely made sense or added to the story. Scenes would start and stop randomly. Especially near the end. It's a shame, I wanted to love this. The "author" fought me on it and won. Its like a less fun less funny more glitchy Oblivion or Skyrim set in Jim Crow Cincinnati? I'm really not clear on the time period.
Hopefully some AO3 writer will come along and fix this.

Story
In Britain alone, more than 20 per cent of the adult population take a psychiatric drug in any one year. This is an increase of over 500 per cent since 1980 and the numbers continue to grow. Yet, despite this prescription epidemic, levels of mental illness of all types have actually increased in number and severity. Using a wealth of studies, interviews with experts, and detailed analysis, Dr James Davies argues that this is because we have fundamentally mischaracterised the problem.
