The compassion she feels for her sister, her sister’s husband and their other four children has dramatically affected her understanding of this disorder. She has watched them live through so many wild family experiences, that she has come to realize the usefulness of using humor to cope with the trials. The stories throughout the years have left them both crying and laughing at the same time. These humorous yet painful stories so affected Virginia that she felt compelled to write them into this book.
Virginia currently lives in Nampa, Idaho and works as an Operating Room Nurse. She enjoys many hobbies, especially writing songs and composing music. She is involved in her church in the worship team and spends much of her time outside work and church with her husband, Jonathan, who has been a motivating force in publishing this amazing family story.
It is the hope of this author that the readers of this story are left with a greater appreciation for the people suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and what their families can go through dealing with this disorder.view less
