Janice Holly Booth Releases 'Only Pack What You Can Carry'
It's a mid-life story all-too-common: we get stuck in the ruts of career, family, debt and other obligations and our youthful aspirations feel like long-gone dreams. But it doesn't have to be that way, insists best-selling author Janice Holly Booth, whose inspirational book 'Only Pack What You Can Carry,' reveals her path to creating a rich life full of adventure and discovery and inspires others to do the same.
Janice Holly Booth Releases A VOICE OUT OF NOWHERE
Author Janice Holly Booth's new #1 best-seller, 'A Voice out of Nowhere: Inside the mind of a mass murderer,' tells the story of a 22-year-old man with no history of aggression who suddenly murdered his family during one night of psychotically fueled violence. It's Booth's first true-crime novel, a genre she had no interest in pursuing until the tragic loss of a friend to suicide. 'My friend was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and she would not take her medications,' says Booth. 'She wound up in the mental institution known as Riverview where we thought she'd be safe, but she killed herself while under suicide watch.' Two years later, another friend, also diagnosed with schizophrenia, died. 'In both situations,' Booth says, 'their deaths were preventable. The system that was supposed to be keeping them safe had failed miserably.' Booth decided to learn everything she could about schizophrenia, and when the mass murder case of Bruce Blackman came before the court where Booth worked, 'This was a story I knew I had to tell some day.' Blackman was ultimately diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
