Book Details

Resiliency and a Positive Outlook Win Out


Why would a mother tell doctors that her young son was mentally and physically ill when he wasn’t? This startling memoir recounts the son’s difficult and unusual childhood journey that included extended stays in a mental institution and juvenile detention center, and abuse when he was at home. And yet, he overcame these challenges, rebuilt his damaged self-confidence and enjoys a fulfilling life. This story is about transforming adversity, duplicity and heartache to resiliency, clarity and happiness.
