Uncommon Courage: Faith, Hope And Love Support A Mother And Daughter When Schizophrenia Shatters Their World

UNCOMMON COURAGE: Faith, Hope and Love support a mother and daughter when schizophrenia shatters their world"A must-read for families living with special needs, who often need support in a battle where they need not fight alone. Cheryl Wiker was an inspiration when I met her 25 years ago. Her commitment to her daughter's quality of life was of profound influence in saving her little girl's life. Cheryl's taken her story of love and commitment and written a true-life account of how a mother's unyielding pursuit of justice can cause remarkable change to the status quo." Tony Fama, Managing Editor 50PLUSPRIME CBS entertainment channel"This heart-wrenching, yet ultimately uplifting, true story inspires me to face any life crisis with gratitude, faith, hope and love, while making me more aware of the scope of human suffering. Cheryl, as a single mother of three, rose above tremendous stress and pain with unusual grace, strength and commitment to help her mentally ill daughter live in a safe, nurturing environment. I hope readers of this book will find Cheryl's and Kim's fortitude as a companion to get through life's toughest moments and develop more compassion towards people with mental disorders." Emile Lin, PhD in Psychology (Cognitive Division, University of Illinois)"As a father of two teenage girls who are on their own emotional rollercoasters, this story grabbed me from the start. I can't imagine the heartbreak and emotional turmoil Cheryl and her family experienced. But the message of true hope, faith and love really stands out. It is made even more powerful by Cheryl's upbeat attitude towards life. In spite of the challenges and crisis we all must confront, this shows us life can still truly be wonderful!"
