This review is from: Darkness in the Mirror (Urban Soul) (Paperback)

What you don't know won't hurt you. But what happens when you find out? Ondie Reid's life hasn't been typical. Having developed schizophrenia courtesy of genetics, Ondie has managed to have a somewhat normal life with the aid of medication and therapy. She even had a meaningful relationship that resulted in a daughter, Maya, and a marriage proposal until...her mother told her fiancé of her disease. Ondie and her former fiancé, Dexter, have maintained a friendly relationship. In fact, Ondie thinks now is the time for them to reignite what they once had. But what Ondie doesn't know is that Dexter has been secretly seeing her sister. Will the discovery of their relationship send Ondie over the edge?

"Darkness in the Mirror" is an emotionally stirring look at the human side of mental health, focusing on the struggles and hopes of one family affected by schizophrenia. It was a pleasure to read. I'm happy to see an author tackle a subject not often addressed.

This review is from: Darkness in the Mirror (Urban Soul) (Paperback)

Ruth Reid has been dealing with the firm grip of schizophrenia for years. First her mother, and now her oldest daughter Ondie. Determined not to have her daughter waste away in a mental hospital like her mother, Ruth has put before Ondie a life as close to normal as possible. But when tragedy strikes and a secret relationship between her other daughter, Serita, and Ondie's ex come to light, what will the future hold?

"Darkness in the Mirror" is the latest from Erica Lewis. It features a solid storyline where emotions are true. I found it entertaining and informative. I really liked the family's relationship also. I recommend "Darkness in the Mirror" to anyone looking for a good read.

Darkness in the Mirror takes us into a world that people of color usually hold as taboo. I like the fact that the author was open and accurate about mental health and how it not only affects that person but also affects the lives of those around them. I especially like the twist in the story line. Good stuff!
