About the Book

18 year old Reene's state of mind took her to a fantasy world. Her subconscious took her the the psychiatric ward of the hospital. This true story will bring understanding and hope to any parent who has a child with special needs. It is wrote from the mothers perspective. It is a kind honest account of a mother trying to cut through the confidentiality red tape to help her daughter have a life. FROM INSIDE THE BOOK 'I cried uncontrollably all the way to work. My world had crumbled and I couldn't put the pieces back together. I realized I had no control over any thing that was happening. I didn't think I could handle anymore....' Recent Review 'I purchased this book looking for help, inspiration, understanding, guidance, and even confirmation of my own reactions to individuals with bipolar disorders. As a mother experiencing a quite similar situation, I was inspired to read that I am not alone. Not even with just experiencing the disease, but also the trials of trying to obtain help through the medical and legal professions. I hope that every reader learns the lesson of realizing "we" cannot fix our loved one, we can only assist in the fight. The book was captivating from start to finish and I cannot wait to read future excerpts of the author's experience. The author has a true gift of telling her story so that the reader feels as if they are living the experience'
About the Author: Jo Jo focused all of her college learning on understanding children with special needs and disabilities. She was tired and enraged by the endless list of symptoms without any real meaning for parents. The list always left off how the symptoms affected other area's of learning. With her Associate of Arts in Child Development with emphasis on children with special needs, her minor in psychology and her hands on experience with children with rare conditions, she began to search for a way to help parents, siblings and caregivers of these children. Jo Jo has worked one on one with some rare and difficult cases, with success. But even all of her training and studying could not have prepared her for her own daughters diagnoses. In her search for understanding of 'WHAT IS MENTAL ILLNESS?' and how she could help her daughter, she realized that other parents could benefit from the knowledge she was acquiring. So she began to write. Jo Jo's current nonfiction book comes from personal experience of the tragedy and survival her family went through when her daughter at age 18 was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Her future books will be from her personal experiences from while working one on one with special needs children. No confidentiality laws are being broken, because each family has given permission for their story to be told.
