The First Practical Handbook for Crazy People is a mother­-daughter collaboration that began in 2009 when Shelly Glaser sat down to write the story of her path to recovering from severe mental illness with practical pointers along the way for fellow sufferers, and culminated six years later when her daughter Sherry Glaser picked up the manuscript after Shelly’s death, revised it and added her own “Recovery Story” with a few more tips.

The grist in the Glaser Mill continues to grind. She is currently writing a novel entitled The Secret Life of the Potwife.

“When people think about pot, they imagine a bad-ass ‘grower’ tending to the big buds, but the reality is that these growers have families,” said Glaser. “Potwives are the backbone of the industry, but get no credit, and live secret lives in fear of raids, arrests, asset forfeiture and even losing their kids.”
