People are your greatest asset, your social network, your village. Hold onto them with everything within you. You don't know when you will need them the most!What started out as a simple life in the Newcastle working class suburb of Redhead, Australia, unexpectedly became a lifelong struggle with a severe mental illness. Without warning, Jack Eisland's world was tipped off axis to the point of despair. Remarkably, throughout his many difficulties he was able to reorient and navigate his way through harsh challenges, to his psychiatrist's amazement.
His story courageously recounts a journey through mental illness, religion and sexual orientation, bringing together these vexed and divisive issues in a forthright and fascinating autobiography. He shows how a life divided can again become unified.
This is Jack's story of hope and overcoming adversity.
