My name is Ruth Gordon. I was born in Switzerland in 1950 and left
at the age of 16 to pursue my ballet career. This journey brought
me to England in 1969 where I met Simon Gordon, a fine ballet
pianist and conductor, in 1978. Two weeks later we were married.
Unbeknownst to me Simon had suffered from Schizophrenia since the
age of 11. In 1980 I gave birth to our son Matthew. Simon's
grandmother (a huge influence on his life) died in 1981, incepting
an episode of Simon's latent Schizophrenia which culminated in him
kidnapping Matthew, beating me and finally committing suicide.
During this period, both Simon and I wrote diaries which are the
central components of this book. These diaries display the
differences in how we experienced this time of difficulty and
hopefully convey the raw emotions of this time.
