I am always amazed when people are willing to share their stories about struggles with mental health issues, and even though this is a novel, that amazement still applies because of the author’s note at the opening which indicates that it’s based on her experiences with her son. The author does a marvelous job exploring the panoply of highs and lows that accompany complex mental health conditions like schizophrenia. Continue reading Book Review: A Divided Mind by M. Billiter
