Bookpleasures Reviews Joan Jackson's Novel Just In Time

Here's an excerpt from the review:In fewer than two hundred and fifteen pages Just in Time presents to its readers an extraordinary and thoughtful look at experiencing schizophrenia from the inside and its impact on family members and caretakers.As Jackson mentions in the novel, “Schizophrenia-derived from the Greek schizein, to split, and phren, mind-had become misleadingly popularized as “split personality,” usually imagined as a version of a horrifying Jekyll and Hyde. However, there is no category or phenomenon in psychiatry called split personality, but try telling that to your next-door neighbor.” After reading this powerful personal human narrative, I doubt if you will come away without being blown away by empathy and the feeling of compassion for Steve, his siblings and Nancy as well as a better understanding of those who battle mental illness.For the full review, click here.
