This story will tell about an extra ordinary little girl, expecting no more or less than an ordinary life in central Ohio.This little girl pushed herself into adulthood with the expectations of being a wife and mother. She planned to raise her family like any one else, grow old with her husband, become a grandparent/great grandparent and leave a legacy of a life well lived and loved by all who knew her. Who would have guessed that her life may have been chosen by her long before she was born. As you follow her life you will wonder that as well; or perhaps it was chosen for her? She just may make you a believer in reincarnation, fate and the cliché "you are where you are meant to be". Surely, she would not have planned this life for herself without a purpose in mind and she does have one in mind. As her journey unfolds at the sidelines into the madness of mental illness, the reader will decide if she has and is fulfilling her purpose. This story was written by a mom. A mom who will continue to fight to fulfill her purpose regardless of the odds. She will do this with her memoir, her activism and her "Love For Joey" This mom is me, Linda L Hutchison, hear me roar.
