Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

A successful, loving father of three is suddenly struck by paranoid schizophrenia and hallucinates the mob is out to kill him. He declares himself a prophet of God and disappears, homeless on the streets. After nearly a decade, Joseph is all but forgotten by the world. His devoted daughter, Amanda, spends years searching for him. With hope slipping away, her sister, brother, and stepmother give up, forced to move on with their lives. When a call from the Missing Persons division alerts Amanda that her dad is still alive-location unknown-she races against time to save him. Amanda's mission is clear: find her dad. Her motivation: unconditional love. She navigates a maze of medical bureaucracy and a tangle of relationships to discover that what she's been searching for is not all that she finds. This incredible true story, Finding Dad, Paranoid Schizophrenia: An End to the Search, is a standalone book. It is the highly-anticipated sequel to the National Award-Winning book Losing Dad, Paranoid Schizophrenia: A Family's Search for Hope. Includes reading guide discussion questions.
