by Marvin Ross  Non fiction 187 pages     $15.95

The purpose of this book is twofold. First, it is hoped that a candid discussion of the disease, the suffering that is inflicted on those with the disease by a mostly uncaring society and an explanation of what schizophrenia is and how the treatment of its victims can be improved will advance our appreciation of the problem. Second, it is intended that this book will provide information and comfort to the families of the victims and hopefully empower them in their struggle. It can also be used for families to give to friends and other family members in order to help them understand and to help to dispel the myths about serious mental illness they might have.

Recommended as "a good book - worth a read" by the World Fellowship for Schizophrenia and Allied Disorders

The author of four published novels, translated into 7 languages, now brings us a new, compelling story of crime, addictions, of love and redemption, played out in the shadows of a post- industrial steel town. Known as a Canadian Elmore Leonard, Dawson is perhaps a little kinder and gentler, but no less real.

During the tumultuous sixties, Dr. Robert Snow interns in a big city hospital. Dawson lets his readers feel the triumphs and tragedies, the exhausting, overwhelming experiences of hospital life and death.
