Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The foundation of my book is biographical of my mother and her family with their battles with schizophrenia and schizoid personalities. It describes the lives of two of her children and herself, and how the author navigated living with them with faith in God. This experience has strengthened me with emotional and spiritual vigor. The purpose of writing this is to encourage, enlighten, educate and intrigue readers with photos, poetry and history. All three are deceased and I know I will be with them in Heaven. It begins with the birth of my younger brother when I was seven and ends when I am sixty-eight when he passed away. I resolve to continue telling stories to share with others for their edification.
