Kelly Bauserman is a remarkable young man who has suffered with schizophrenia for well over a quarter of a century. Here he tells, in his own words, how the affliction first took over his life while he was still a teenager in the United States Navy-how its voices and hallucinations caused him to attempt suicide with a beautifully decorated knife that he had acquired for just that purpose. He discusses openly, frankly and honestly how his condition affected his relationships with other people, his ex-wife and their two sons, his parents and siblings, his close friends and relatives, as well as his associates and supervisors at his job-where he was recognized as a conscientious employee for many years. He reveals his appreciation for the many people who have shown concern for him-including the personnel at the Veteran's Administration, who have provided help in the way of therapy and medications. And he recognizes and says thanks constantly for the advent of a Higher Power into his life, which gives him the strength to go from day to day. There are lessons to be learned from Kelly's story-for others with similar conditions, for those who have or might become so afflicted, and for those who care for and about them.
