Being a bibliophile from an early age, I read incessantly! Well, I finished a book last night that I just have to share, Mad House by Clea Simon.
It’s Clea Simon’s personal account of living with two older mentally ill siblings suffering from schizophrenia.
Clea’s writing is insightful and intimately personal as she tells of her experiences and impressions as a child, a teenager and finally as an adult coming to terms with the impact on her life. Clea also shares the practical advice she has learned over the years, giving hope to others trying to make sense of their realities.
If you have mentally ill family members or just want to have a more personal account of living with the mentally ill, I recommend this book. On a personal note, Clea’s words helped me find the peace and understanding that I have been needing in my own life.
