Understanding Mental Illness through Fiction in Touching Book

What is normal? This is the concept that Sheila Hinnenkamp wants to challenge with her fictional short stories of different mental illnesses in her book, Journeys of the Mind.
 
A collection of four short stories, the characters in each have not been named in order to enable people to put themselves in their shoes, hopefully to identify them to someone they know or relate to them personally. Featuring depression and delusions, dissociative identity disorder or schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, and codependency, it is the author’s wish that the stories will instill empathy in the hearts of the readers and make them more understanding of those who are not classified as normal by the standards and norms of society today.
