Are You Gregg’s Mother? describes the challenges, obstacles, and grace of raising a son who develops paranoid schizophrenia.

I am the mother of an adult son who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. From Gregg’s traumatic birth to his turbulent childhood, through his troubled teens up to the present, I have loved him, though at times that has been in the inscrutable dark. Each mother’s story is different. My story, as Gregg’s mother, is unique, but in some aspect, all mothers will find in our intertwined lives an aspect of their own. ‘Not me, ’ one might say, ‘that could never happen to me and my child’-and in that thought itself we are alike.
