Tea With the Mad Hatter

Austin Mardon was on track for success in 1992. Newly graduated, he had just returned from a NASA mission to the Antarctic, and his dream of becoming a geographer was coming true. Then, unexpectedly, Austin’s life fell to pieces when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. This is a story about coming to terms with an illness feared above all others, and one man’s fight for a life that most people take for granted.
