Details

Meet local author Ken Farmer and get a signed copy of his title Lee: The Tragic Story of a Family Broken by Schizophrenia. He will be in the store signing copies from 12 pm - 3 pm on Saturday, March 30.

About the Book
In this heartbreaking memoir, Ken Farmer describes what it was like to lose his older brother and only sibling, Lee, to paranoid schizophrenia. The story begins in childhood, when his brother mentored him and was effectively his de facto dad in an already dysfunctional family. Eventually, Lee becomes grandiose, delusional, and event violent, forcing the author and his father to initiate commitment proceedings. Yet the story doesn't end here, as Farmber and his family must still cope with the dvestating fallout of the disease and its ever-frustrating dimensions.

About the Author
Kenneth Farmer is a retired public defender and prosecutor. His first jury trial took place at the tender age of 19 when he was a witness at his brother’s civil commitment proceeding. Though he has plenty of professional experience dealing with schizophrenia, it is his personal one that qualifies him the most to write his book, Lee. He actually went through the tears, disappointment, fear, shame, and blame that thousands of families of schizophrenics endure every day. As a result, he is able to describe with incredible accuracy the heartache as well as the legalities of this horrible problem. Learn more at https://kenfarmerwrites.com/
