ATLANTA, GA--Each of us has had an occasion to observe some abnormal behaviors of persons who suffer from a mental disorder known as paranoid schizophrenia. When in their presence, we find ourselves feeling uncomfortable and even frightened. Imagine what it must have been like for eight siblings growing up with a loving and caring mother who frequently exhibited signs of delusions, auditory hallucinations (hearing voices), and other symptoms that her children found confusing and downright scary. Author Doris Bibbs shares those puzzling and terrifying experiences in her brilliantly-written autobiographical novel "Breaking the Glass Cage" (iUniverse, Inc., ISBN-10: 0595270603, paperback, 190pp)
