About the Book

This book relates a true and complete description of the author's descent into delusionary behavior as a fourteen-year-old boy. Years have passed, but he retains a total memory of all that happened to him in that illness. Included are earlier experiences which may have contributed to his illness along with his total exhaustion at that time. Prior to his illness, he had been considered a successful young man in the eyes of his friends, teachers, parents, and coaches. At the time of his illness, he became listed by his high school as a "homebound" student, and he was subject to being admitted to an appropriate hospital should a delusionary experience be repeated.

Following his illness, his behavior deteriorated in certain ways in that he committed several delinquent acts for which he could have been arrested. However, with the support of his parents, the Assistant Principal at his high school, and others, he continued to excel in schoolwork and graduated sixth in his class and received a prestigious full, four-year, college scholarship.

The author's hope is that this account will be read with interest by anyone who is involved with adolescent boys and that they should find this book to be of value and assistance should a boy's delusionary illness arise.


About the Author: William C. Prentiss spent ten years as Dean of the Florida Military School and later taught Adolescent Psychology and Juvenile Delinquency at the college level. In 1976, he founded a program for youths referred by the Juvenile Court. This program, called Operation Comeback, was selected by President Reagan in 1988 to receive his prestigious Volunteer Action Award presented at a White House luncheon. He is currently retired and lives in Orlando, Florida, with his wife Sallie. Bill and Sallie Prentiss remain involved with youth, both male and female, in the leadership of a performing group of young people of American Indian heritage with the Talako Indian Dancers. He is the drummer, and Sallie especially works with the female dancers in making their dresses and shawls for use in the shows. The Talakos do approximately fifty shows a year for schools, youth groups, retirement center, libraries, and festivals.
