In, the book, she tells about her son Cory, who was diagnosed with Schizophrenia at age 24 and underwent subsequent brain surgery that went wrong. Hopkins shares, “Everyone’s story is unique. Mental illness can take many forms and how the family unit reacts to it determines the outcome that person may have. It is just a different way of living.
