Born Schizophrenic: A Mother's Search For Her Family's Sanity

When Susan Schofield's daughter, January (Jani) was diagnosed with child-onset schizophrenia at six, the dreams she and her husband had for their family's future became delusional, much like the illness itself. Their toddler son Bodhi was their hope, a savior for Jani. He would look after her when their parents were no longer around. But this was not to be. At two, Bodhi was diagnosed with autism and began decompensating even with the best early intervention therapy. The semi-sequel to Michael Schofield's book, 'January First' starts at the beginning of Susan and Michael's life together. It chronicles the joys and heartbreak of parenting special needs children, and the chaos that can bring to a family and a marriage. It ends with Susan and Michael finding love and even happiness while their struggle to help their children continues. But, as is so often the case, the journey is more interesting than the final destination. from the back cover.
