About The Drowning Girl

India Morgan Phelps—Imp—is trying to write her memoir while living with schizophrenia, anxiety, and OCD, making memory and reality difficult to untangle. Her story circles a mysterious woman found by the roadside, her relationship with her transgender girlfriend, and the question of how to tell a truth locked inside an unstable mind.
