A family’s introduction to mental illness and advocacy

Karleen Ross frames mental illness through the experience of a working mother raising four children, whose concerns grow as her second son begins showing unfamiliar changes in behavior. The book centers the uncertainty of recognizing a problem without prior knowledge, alongside the pressures of family life and parenting. Love, frustration, tears, and learning shape the mother’s path as she moves toward advocating for her son. With its focus on a parent’s developing understanding, the narrative addresses the personal and family dimensions of confronting mental-health challenges.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

A married mother of four consumed with work and raising a young family begins to see signs of unfamiliar behavior in her second son. Unaware of the journey she is about to embark, she realizes that parenting is the most difficult job she will ever experience as she is exposed to something she knows nothing about -- mental illness. Through love, frustration, tears, and learning, she becomes his biggest advocate.
