Being a lover of non-fiction, I realized I was going to love this book well into the first chapter. This is a honest narrative as well as a journal, of a mother and son's sudden decent into the world of psychosis. Their life and routine are instantly changed, relationships are tested, and the challenges and failures of the health care system are all too soon revealed. I especially loved her narratives when she retreated into nature. This provided her the strength and vision to continue to endure the ongoing roller coaster of events. Those pages so well written, also gave me respite when anxiously anticipating the next event. I found a great story which expanded my empathy and also contained an inspirational message. My only critique is I wished the book was longer!
