About the Book:

In "I'm Not Crazy," Di Benedetto brings together eight riveting stories that challenge societal norms and invite readers to question their own understanding of sanity. Each narrative is a standalone exploration of someone fighting internal and external battles, where the distinction between real and imagined is blurred, and where seeking truth becomes a dangerous game.

From Jamie, a young transgender man grappling with the consequences of abuse and the complexities of identity, to Thomas, a novelist whose creations begin to inhabit his reality, Di Benedetto paints a vivid picture of struggle and resilience. These stories are united by a common thread—the painful impact of being labeled as "crazy" by a world that refuses to listen.
