Straight from the Heart: a Mother Battles Paranoid Schizophrenia, and a Girl Struggles to Grow Up

My memoirs pick up when I turned fifteen, and reveal many unique experiences until I met my husband, now of forty-five years of marriage, when I was twenty-five. These experiences attest to my faith in God from an early age, and demonstrate that He was always there. It was these experiences in living that shaped me into the person that I am. I was able to gain insight into myself - to form values as I matured from a teenager into a young adult. The book is honest, and doesn't hesitate to reveal intimate details of my relationships. Each was different; some were painful - others were satisfying, but none were dull!
