Publisher Description
“A brutally honest book about growing up with – and around – mental illness. This should be required reading for anyone who seeks to understand its impact on families.”
---- Rone Shavers, Co-Editor, Paper Empire: William Gaddis and the World System
“Havel rips the blinds off of family destiny, a memoir of thwarted love and tragedy. He writes as he walks, strolling, back through layers of time to the conclusive moment at the core of everything. Smoke from an ever-present fire leaks from page to page. The reader will never see – or smoke – cigarettes in quite the same way again.”
----- Allen Parmenter, Freelance Writer
“A well-written and very honest story of the relationship between mother and son. He puts you into the story, explaining the emotions and the struggles of mental illness.”
---- Patti Mutterer, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Albany County Mental Health
