Publisher's Synopsis
In this candid autobiography, Rex Malik shares the hardships of his childhood, the pain caused by knowing he was different, and the deep desire that compelled him to keep seeking connections with others-and health and wholeness for himself. For a GAM with schizophrenia like author Rex Malik, life can be terribly difficult, and overwhelming. Following Malik's difficult path, this memoir traces his struggles through childhood and college; his eventual move to California, where he first began writing his memoirs; and his terrible stay in a state-run hospital. But instead of giving up or giving in to the pain, Malik moves on, confronting the realities of his mental and emotional health. Despite setbacks and hardships, Malik continues to have faith-and his persistence will inspire readers from all walks of life.
