Product Description
Jade doesn't know how to cope when her father starts behaving oddly. He sits in a chair all day, staring into space, not even bothering to get dressed - until Jade is too embarrassed to bring her friends home. And then, to cap it all, he wrecks his own shop, makes a scene in the middle of the road, and has to be escorted off to hospital by the police. Jade doesn't know how to cope with her father's strange behaviour - and it's only as she comes to understand him better that she can come to terms with what's happening to him. An insightful study of what it's like to have a parent break down, handled with sensitivity and humour.

A teenagers tale of coping with mental illness,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jade's Story (Paperback)
This is moving account of how a teenager copes with the problems of mental illness. Jade's father suffers from schizophenia and this brilliant story relates the ups and downs of family life trying to cope with this. Helena writes with compassion but realistically. A good story for teenagers to read to help them realise that these things can happen in any family and it should not be something to be ashamed of.
