Description:Just In Time is based on my experiences with my schizophrenic brother, Steve, following the death of our parents. The title comes from the question my brother once asked me: “How come you always get here just in time?”Steve is unable to live on his own in the family home in Ohio but dreams of living independently. His sister, Sylvia, who lives in Los Angeles, enlists her troubled sister-in-law, Nancy, to move in as caretaker and housekeeper. Yet it’s Sylvia who must frequently step in to resolve the numerous crises that arise: from medication confusion, Nancy’s alcoholic son who moves in, to Steve’s hospitalization and tragic police encounter.The novel explores in depth the day to day challenges and psychological aspects of Steve’s mental illness. With humorous elements in the darkness of it all, Just In Time is a surprising, inspiring account of the roller coaster life of a schizophrenic struggling for independence.“Finally, finally, our culture is talking about mental illness and the suffering it brings to those it strikes and those who love them.
