Your reaction is similar to others I've read, and still other reviewers/folks online have gone so far as to accuse Janni's parents of fabricating her illness and/or exploiting her.

Is this the family that have now moved to two separate apartments? I think I saw on a TV news show. In this case truth is stranger than fiction.

It would be something I'd probably feel uncomfortable pointing out, but at the same time it might make me squirm to read about it. Regardless, my curiosity is sparked so I'm probably going to give it a try someday...Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-71865820085125176912013-04-23T15:19:58.774-04:002013-04-23T15:19:58.774-04:00Mental Illness can be so dehabilitating and it imp...Mental Illness can be so dehabilitating and it impacts everyone in a family. I see it every day in my line of work.<br /><br />I don't know that I will read this book, and, I have to admit, what you've described of the marketing for the book disturbs me. Hopefully it isn't meant as a money grab.
