Daybreak is a story that revolves around the crucial necessity driving a young doctor to seek a new treatment for schizophrenia before a lovely young patient was doomed to undergo a frontal lobotomy -- a brain operation that just might reduce her to a kind of dehumanized zombie. It is also an engrossing account of a real twentieth century medical miracle -- the pioneering treatment of “hopeless insanity” through use of the drug, “Rauwolfia”, made from the Indian snakeroot plant, a miracle treatment that can lead to cure of the mentally ill.
