My Hart Thaw

The Hart family was an ordinary family in the 1950s-seven children, a dog, Sundays at church and summer excursions to the Jersey shore. But when oldest sister Janice was diagnosed with schizophrenia, family dynamics changed. My Hart Thaw is a memoir that traces two sisters' love and challenges for decades. A journey that includes diagnoses of breast cancer, Alzheimer's and chronic Lyme disease. From a young child to a middle- aged adult, Claire was a witness to Janice's prolonged struggles. It's a testament to sisterhood and the faith and courage of a family amidst the chaos.
