Gloria Lovejoy s memoir is an unabashed account of a troubled woman s life in small town Pennsylvania coping with family strife, drug abuse, alcoholism, promiscuity, and suicide attempts. Later came the paranoid delusions, voices, demonic apparitions and hallucinations that were the tell-tale signs of a diagnosed schizophrenic disorder. Many rejected her and stigmatized her as crazy. She spent years in therapy and in and out of mental institutions. However, Gloria s Road demonstrates that the mentally ill are not without salvation, that schizophrenia is not outside of Christ s mercy and grace, and that the power of God can work despite a comprised mental state. Gloria s Road offers evidence that the mentally ill have hope, and that through Christ, they can live fulfilling and fruitful lives."
