Can a schizophrenic ever come to live in reality? Unbelievably... Yes! While many professionals think schizophrenics are without hope, one person questioned this assumption. After decades of work with her therapists, diagnosed schizophrenic Shirana Joy emerged into reality. This is her story.

Imagine a world where you are adrift in an inky blackness without a sense of self. This stark reality plagues millions of schizophrenics, making every day a battle to exist. But there is a way to come into reality, where the joy and wonder of life - which most of us take for granted - exists.

Shirana tells her story in her own words, from her earliest memories to the present day. She shares her discovery of the bridge into reality, where she exists in time and space. She has a past, present, and future - as well as both a subconscious and an unconscious. This is a compelling book for people who live with schizophrenia, the professionals who work with them, and those who love them. Come witness the compelling journey of a schizophrenic coming into reality!

Shirana Joy knew from the start that she had an assignment - an assignment from God. Although she did not know what the assignment was at the time, she now knows that it is to share with other schizophrenics how to come out of that black world of nothingness and into reality. Growing the Real Me is the realization of this assignment. Christine E. currently works as a Spiritual Life Coach after 30 years of counseling in private practice. She is a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, as well as the author of Ascend to Joy. Chris loves life, family, and helping others find their life purpose.
