Compelling story of a young man living on the edge of sanity and the abyss 5-Stars for Mason Gardner's Back on TrackI highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy reading stories with characters that are not only human, but flawed just as most of us are flawed. Mason takes us into the mind of a young man with a borderline personality as he seeks to make sense out of a confusing and often hurtful world. Like so many of us, we try to run, hide from ourselves, self-medicate and even self-harm as we try to cope with all that life throws at us. Life's challenges are even more intense when viewed through the eyes of someone coping with mental illness.I . "Thank Goodness for Anthony" according to Diane. This was an intensely emotional book to read. You feel compassion for the narrator and Lucy. The problems he faces would be insurmountable to many but he ultimately faced them, with the help of others.
