| Summary: | Highly articulate and self aware, the author offers a moving insight in to the world of a schizophrenic. A memoir of paranoid schizophrenia by this accomplished professor recounts her first symptoms at the age of eight, her efforts to hide the severity of her condition, and the obstacles she has overcome in the course of her treatment and marriage. She writes about her struggle with schizophrenia in this unflinching account of her mental illness. She draws readers into a nightmare world of medications, a misguided health care system, and social stigmas. But she would not be defeated. With a strength and force of will that most can only imagine, she reclaimed her life and went on to achieve great success.
