By Keith Vander Wees

Keith Vander Wees is a mental illness and homelessness survivor. After a wellness journey of almost 30 years he has written this harrowing yet uplifting memoir, reflecting on his lifelong battle with psychosis and schizophrenia and offering his personal story as a message of hope and inspiration.

In Struggling to Be Well, Vander Wees chronicles his childhood in Northern Ontario during the 1960s, carries readers through a turbulent adolescence playing and travelling with many bands in Toronto, working in Israel, homelessness, numerous hospital admissions, and ultimately recounts his triumph in regaining a sense of stability and agency over his life having worked for the Toronto Blue Jays for 3 years as a retail and premium store sales associate.
