Stars and Skeletons: Tales of Life with My Schizophrenic Brother - Paperback

by David G. Robinson (Author)

A true story of amazing recovery - A memoir and a coming of age story that reads like a novel.

Follow the author, Dave, and his brother, Tim, from the joys of childhood to the troubling surprise of severe mental illness in adulthood.

Join them as they face the pain and darkness, seemingly without guidance or instruction. Tim loses himself in a world of psychotic delusions and confusing, terrifying thoughts. He becomes dangerous, especially to himself, and is eventually diagnosed with Chronic Undifferentiated Schizophrenia.

Through years of setbacks, faith, medication, and hard work, the brothers' relationship deepens as they refuse to give up hope for recovery.

In the appendix of the book, Tim himself shares some of the powerful tools he's learned that help him now lead a healthy and productive life.
