Are You Gregg's Mother? describes the challenges, obstacles, and grace of raising a son who develops paranoid schizophrenia. "I am the mother of an adult son who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia.

'Not me,' one might say, 'that could never happen to me and my child'-and in that thought itself we are alike."…mehr
