This novel encompasses the year 2016, when Dorothy Elms was granted guardianship of her daughter in a court of law, and is able to discover that her daughter was misdiagnosed and mistreated as she is autistic and her diagnosis of schizophrenia might very well have been drug-induced..
The changes enabled through the guardianship are astounding. It restores mother-daughter trust and relationship when because of disability an adult is not operating and functioning at her chronological age. Unfortunately 36 years of unnecessary psychiatric drugs have caused side effects which make her no longer eligible for staying in a group home. The book relates these experiences in detail and their outcome.
