Here's an excerpt from this thoughtful review for Just In Time by Joan Jackson in Storycircle Book Reviews:Joan L. Jackson has written an important and realistic novel about schizophrenia and its impact on a family. The protagonist, 48-year-old Steve, is likable and almost too honest. When his father suddenly dies, after his mother's passing several years earlier, Steve's older sister, Sylvia, reluctantly becomes his long-distance care giver. She lives in Los Angeles while he lives in the family home in Silver Lake, Ohio. Steve was a track star in high school and college, but then schizophrenia stole his dreams at age twenty-two. Track ends for him, as well as most other things taken for granted as normal life.For the full review, click here.
