From both the patient and her carer there is now rare and unusual insight into living with and learning to manage a mental illness.

To Walk on Eggshells by Jean Johnston, ISBN 0954809211
The Naked Bird Watcher by Suzy Johnston, ISBN 0954809203

This is the total reality of having mental illness in your family. A powerful desciption of the developing of a mental illness it is wonderfully with the constructive tools of recovery. It is full of bravery and hope.

A real good read for those who would like to understand mental illness better - sufferer, carer, familly, friend or professional - and is definitely for anyone who feel isolated by mental illness. It makes you realise that you are not alone.

To Walk on Eggshells will prove very useful to any relative, carer or friend of a mentally ill patient.

Together with the book by Mrs Johnston's daughter that describes her own experiences of mental illness 'The Naked Bird Watcher', it will prove a very useful educational tool.

It is also a jolly good read - and short enough to be read by busy people. Strongly recommended.

From Jean Johnston there is now a priceless and refreshingly sensible account on caring for mental illness.
