A nationally known spokesperson for the mentally ill offers hope and inspiration in this moving story of his decades-long struggle with schizophrenia and his remarkable recovery . For thirty-two years Ken Steele lived with the devastating symptoms of schizophrenia, tortured by inner voices commanding him to kill himself, ravaged by the delusions of paranoia, barely surviving on the ragged edges of society. In this inspiring story, Steele tells the story of his hard-won recovery from schizophrenia and how activism and advocacy helped him regain his sanity and go on to give hope and support to so many others like him.

Mon, 2 Sep 2019 | Review by: Lerato M.

This was my first time reading a memoir, I'm usually not a fan, but I was interested in learning about Schizophrenia. This was beautifully written book, which also a bit hard for me to read because of the ill-treatment Ken recieved from his parents and people around him who were not well educated on Schizophrenia. In case you're thinking things will eventually get better for him, just know that he will reach 'eventually' just when yoi're thinking he wouln't. Nonetheless, I loved the book, super sad, I mean really sad, but a good read.
