Nola Hemley died in 1973 at the age of 25 of a medication overdose while being treated for schizophrenia. In this reprised memoir with edits by his writer mother, Hemley (nonfiction writing program, U. of Iowa) draws on his sister's writings and artwork and his memories in this reflection on the life path of this brilliant but disturbed seeker of God and an eccentric literary family. He also treats the fine line between nonfiction and fiction. Includes family photos and examples of Nola's drawings. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
