The book was written and edited by myself. I was never good at English classes. But I did my best while writing from memory. The book does not make any accusations about anyone. It shows how people with debilitating mental illness are treated. Anyone I was thinking about while I was writing I have forgiven decades ago. The book is targeted for people who are now middle-aged and may remember the early 1980s.

I lived in Boulder from 1980 till 1984. I suffer from schizophrenia. I am from a small town in New Jersey. I am a high school graduate. I served a short time in the US Navy. I had an unusual experience living in Boulder. I tried to write an interesting story. For years I have read newspapers cover to cover. It was like a hobby, but it kept me company. I have been hospitalized for my illness more than once. I also participate in a day treatment program.
