Welcome to Book Lovers Paradise

Welcome to my attempt at blogging. I am a true to heart bibliophile. Here I will discuss and review books as I read them. You are welcome to do the same. The only rules are no profanity, no politics, no religion, and have fun!

author of

first, the book:

Caitlin Kane knows more about  the impact of schizophrenia than most people could imagine.  Both her parents were afflicted with the devastating mental illness, a disease that tends to run in families, and Caitlin and her brother grew up trying to navigate the chaos of living with two schizophrenics.  Her tumultuous childhood left Caitlin determined to forge a peaceful and serene life for herself.  Now 32, she is living her dream.  Married to her best friend, she and her husband are raising two bright young children in the suburbs of Seattle.  While her unusual upbringing has left Caitlin with emotional scars, she enjoys the love and support of her extended family and her challenging career as a pediatric nurse.  But no matter how hard she tries, she can't shake the obsessive fear that the family illness will strike again, robbing her of her mind or stealing away the sanity of one or both of her children.
