This book relates a true and complete description of the author’s descent into delusionary behavior as a fourteen-year-old boy. Years have passed, but he retains a total memory of all that happened to him in that illness. Included are earlier experiences which may have contributed to his illness along with his total exhaustion at that time. Prior to his illness, he had been considered a successful young man in the eyes of his friends, teachers, parents, and coaches. At the time of his illness, he became listed by his high school as a homebound student, and he was subject to being admitted to an appropriate hospital should a delusionary experience be repeated.

Following his illness, his behavior deteriorated in certain ways in that he committed several delinquent acts for which he could have been arrested. However, with the support of his parents, the Assistant Principal at his high school, and others, he continued to excel in schoolwork and graduated sixth in his class and received a prestigious full, four-year, college scholarship.

The author’s hope is that this account will be read with interest by anyone who is involved with adolescent boys and that they should find this book to be of value and assistance should a boy’s delusionary illness arise.
