But even after he's home and seemingly on the road to recovery, the voices in his head direct him to kill his parents and throw himself in front of a moving vehicle. It seems more than Marcie can bear, but by the grace of God, she and her family usher Hunter, and each other, through his psychotic breaks and the dire aftermath. But every day is a balancing act, one in which they never know which side they'll land.</p><p>Written from her mother's heart, Marcie doesn't sugarcoat the effects of drug abuse and mental illness, tackling head on the shame and seclusion that accompanies the life-changing diagnoses.

The story is beautifully told. She<br /> really knows how to involve the reader.<br /> --Dr. Ken West<br /> Professor Emeritus of Counseling and Human Development, <br /> University of Lynchburg</p><p><br /> Shattering is wonderful. It is well written and will be a comfort for<br /> families going through similar trials.<br /> --Gretchen Fincke, LCSW, CST<br /> Psychotherapist</p><p><br /> I am so moved by Shattering. It's a powerful memoir of a mother's undying<br /> love, faith, family, challenges, and the profound human spirit.<br /> I was compelled from page to page, not wanting to take breaks. This<br /> book is powerful and relevant to many families who have walked similar<br /> troubling paths. It provides inspiration and dedication to faith and<br /> connection.<br /> --Joan Marineau, CAP<br /> Licensed Mental Health Counselor</p><p><br /> What an amazing journey outlined in an emotional outpouring of love, <br /> faith, and support. I was deeply moved by the intense love of family<br /> and friends. Hunter is lucky to have Marcie as his mom and to have a<br /> family dedicated to supporting him.<br /> I believe all things happen for a reason, although we cannot see it at the<br /> time. Marcie's willingness to share her story--just like her willingness<br /> in the depths of pain to sit with, hold hands with, listen to, and pray<br /> with Simone in the hospital family room--will touch someone and<br /> give them the strength and hope to make it through their challenges.<br /> I love Marcie's connections to Bible verses and to words of encouragement.<br /> --Dr. Martha J. Eagle<br /> Division Superintendent of Schools<br /> Nelson County Public Schools, Virginia</p><p><br /> Shattering is a gripping, compelling, and intimate narrative about the<br /> ultimate parenting challenge of living with the outcomes of a child's<br /> mental health issues. This is a must-read for anyone experiencing unsettling<br /> and seemingly insurmountable circumstances. Marcie Jones's<br /> compassionate memoir illustrates how family, faith, and perseverance<br /> transform tragedy into wins through small gains one day at a time.<br /> --Ann M. Martin<br /> Retired School Library Administrator<br /> Past President, the American Association of School Librarians</p><br>
