Crazy Girl/Jaded World

By Catherine Jarad

Crazy Girl/Jaded World is an unusual and fascinating life journey as experienced through the veil of insanity. In this unique memoir, a light touch of poetry and a solid dose of prose seam together impactfully to create a page-turning drama of rape, abuse, deception, murder, prison, prayers, insanity and finally a temporary respite after decades of trauma. Captivating and spell-binding, this fast-paced true memoir reads like a great fiction novel. If you are curious about the mindset and impact of insanity Crazy Girl/Jaded World is a must read. The author withholds nothing about her journey into the misunderstood world of mental illness including the tragic impact it has on family members as well as the deplorable lack of current understanding of and support for people struggling with this disabling challenge. This is a journey of manic highs and suicidal lows wrapped in a confused mind tortured by schizoaffective thoughts. But above all this is a story of faith, courage and success in the real world.

BOOK REVIEW"Catherine Jarad has written a bold and brave book. It tackles infidelity, rape, mental health issues, religious growth and seeking internal strength through searching for individual fulfillment. I feel like I have entered the mind of the writer and seen life through her eyes. An excellent book."Please read the pages with an understanding you are going into another person's life laid out before you in an honest attempt to tell the truth about life's ups and downs - warts and all. And indeed Ms. Jarad gives helpful ideas on helping oneself with dealing with mental issues and the pains they can cause in our everyday lives. An excellent and gripping read."-Curtis McCarthy, author and artist, Bluffdale, UTAH
