Paperback. Zustand: Good. 338 pages. cover worn, A harrowing memoir from the father of a seven-year-old girl, January First is the desperate story of Michael's mission to find out what is wrong with his hig hly intelligent daughter. Right from when she was a newborn, January has kept he r parents on their toes: as a baby she sle…pt for only 20 minutes at a time, as a one year old she spoke in complete sentences, at two she asked about negative n umbers, and by three had literally hundreds of imaginary friends. But when her b rother Bodhi arrives her behaviour becomes increasingly violent, her never-endin g delusions and hallucinations interspersed with paroxysms of rage that eventual ly force her parents to live in separate one-bedroom apartments - communicating with walkie-talkies to keep her brother safe. As her father does the rounds of c hild psychologists, doctors and locked hospital wards, he provides an unflinchin gly honest account of parenting, as well as an indictment of the lack of care fo r children with severe mental illness. January First shows the passionate dedica tion of a father who refuses to give up on his little girl even as her behaviour becomes ever more alien. An eventual diagnosis is reached of one of the most se vere cases of child-onset schizophrenia that doctors have ever seen: January is hallucinating 95 percent of the time that she is awake and potent psychiatric dr ugs that would level most adults barely faze her.
