O knihe

Anna and Robert with their two sons Kevin and Andrew lived a peaceful and ideal suburban life in Virginia until Kevin,the older son met with an accident. Though it was not a physically disabling injury,during his hospitalization,Kevin was suspected as suffering from the beginnings of mental illness. Having a successful school and college life, being the artist and a musician ,it shattered his self esteem and the family's peace for ever.

Andrew, the younger brother who adored Kevin, had to grow up fast to be the emotional support for his parents and brother too. In spite of his own growing pains,Andrew turns out to be an asset for his parents.

Robert,a popular and brilliant Neurosurgeon and Anna, an efficient ,compassionate Intensive care unit nurse,face the anguish of dealing with the financial, emotional and social struggles with the diagnosis of Schizophrenia in Kevin, the apple of their eye.

This book opens an avenue into the world of family ties, the unconditional and endless efforts of the parents to find a proper place for their first born who ,for eighteen years gave them every pleasure as a"golden boy". The lack of financial and social support system makes such a family wonder "Where do we belong"? in this highly functioning, achievement oriented society.

A part of the proceeds from this book is donated towards the support system for the families of the mentally ill.
