I was disappointed when I finished the book. Yes, it was that good! -Marie Jackson Masters in Education I read the entire book in two days. It was one of those books you don't want to put down. -Diane Jacobs Masters in Education This is the true life story of a young man stricken with extreme mental illness. At the age of twenty and in the blink of an eye he was possessed. The year was 1980 and mental illness was not viewed with the compassion, nor the respect that it is today. In fact it was taboo, mortifying and never a thing you'd share even with the best of friends. An all American runner and eventual MMA athlete, two time college graduate and yet paralyzed with fear day in and day out. This is the inside story that pulls no punches of the brutality and the consequences of living with this wicked affliction.
