Written from my perspective as a young child living in the United States Virgin Islands with my mother suffering from schizophrenia. Mental Illness is not openly discussed in the islands and within minority communities, it is taboo. No one wonders or asks the children/family members what's going through their minds. How do they cope? As an innocent child so oblivious and confused about my mother's condition, all I knew, my mother was not my mother every day. I am using my 100% unapologetic words to express what her secret unknown illness did to me and for me. This memoir offers a message to the voiceless who are also suffering with the family members suffering with mental illness. There is hope that you too can pick up the pieces. You can make LIFEMADE out of lemons!
