BUY David’s Story by Jill Sadowky from Amazon’s Kindle Store or from Smashwords.
When we talk to G-d, it’s called prayer, but when G-d talks to us, it’s called schizophrenia – is Lily Tomlin’s quote that I chose to use in my book.
Dvora Waysman, author of 11 books, wrote: ‘David’s Story is a heartbreaking study of the progress of schizophrenia, destroying not only one life, but making tragic inroads into the lives of every family member. This story gripped me from the first page and I grieved along with the author. I highly recommend it. Jill Sadowsky’s honest recording of her son’s little-understood mental illness is written with sensitivity and compassion, born out of love and pain.’
AUTHOR BIO: Jill is an English Teacher and a volunteer for the local Mental health Association. In January 2012, she received a prestigious award for her voluntary work in the field of mental health, during the time her son was ill, something she still continues to do.
Her first book, Weep for Them, was written under a pen-name and David’s Story, was her second.
Personal Account, a long essay, was published in the US Health & Human Resources Publication.
An Account of Their Lives with Schizophrenia was one of two articles published in the Israeli Psychiatric Journal.
