Silver award recipient of IBPA's prestigious Benjamin Franklin book award in the category of psychology, Losing Dad, Paranoid Schizophrenia: A Family's Search for Hope is the compelling true story of a family's struggle with the sudden onset of their father’s severe mental illness after his fifty-third birthday. Lacking an understanding of his condition, Joseph’s family is left to deal with his upsetting transformation, which led him across four continents and thirty countries as a self-proclaimed prophet-of-God, and his subsequent homelessness. The perspectives of his three children, his spouse, and his own distorted reality combine to offer readers a glimpse of a world that will either feel hauntingly familiar or dramatically eye-opening.
