Imagine this:
There's a family of three beautiful, gifted children, enjoying life to its fullest.
Suddenly… schizophrenia: a mental disorder characterized by an inability to separate real from unreal experiences… slowly takes residence and shatters the home.
Years of darkness descend, bringing torrential pain and anguish. The family struggles to convince son and brother to take prescription meds, not the street drugs. He complies haphazardly, continually being led by his voices, making a plethora of dark choices.
Personal inner strength battles for him. The love of family catapult him, time after time, after time… into the light… until… with the passage of seasons, his spirit is uplifted! He seizes control of his own destiny and today… Edward Kenneth Weatherly confronts the challenge of building a healthy life, multi-tasking the strife of mental illness, addictions, homosexuality, and his true heart's desire to use his gifts and live out loud!
A Gift of Grace: A Mother's Journey Through Her Child's Schizophrenia will boost optimism and support for people affected by mental illness and/or addictions, share pain and triumph with parents, while enlightening other readers with insight and comfort as they grapple with their own set of challenges.
