About the Memoir

Wandering in Oblivion is a son's journey along the dark shores of memory, as he scavenges for meaning to his mother's tormented schizophrenic life. Discovering in the end, that her courage - forged from the relentless illness - might be her greatest gift to him.

If someone you know is struggling to deal with a loved one suffering with schizophrenia or other mental illness, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is available to provide support, education and awareness. They are a valuable resource and have many local chapters that are "dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness."
