Going Sane is the second book in the series by Gabriel Orion Marie depicting in words and images the process of healing from incest through a therapeutic process that included painting her story.

It is with this same courage that she offers you these volumes along with the hope that they may help you to exercise whatever courage you need to overcome any pain or wounding that oppresses you.

She will have an exhibit at the Awakenings Foundation Gallery in October of 2013.
