Children of the Stars by Neil V. Young

It wasn’t supposed to be this way…

Sixteen-year-old Flight Officer Dayton Murdoch was born and raised on a spaceship. It’s all he knows. His dream to be the youngest Recon pilot in history is shattered when his ship crash lands on Earth and Dayton plunges from orbit into a Los Angeles mega mall.

Losing Dad, Paranoid Schizophrenia: A Family’s Search for Hope by Amanda LaPera

No drugs. No alcohol. So, how does a fifty-three-year-old develop schizophrenia? That’s the question puzzling Joseph’s family when his mind descends into madness, filled with grandiose delusions and paranoia. He roams the world as a self-proclaimed prophet of God—purportedly arrested in Israel, preached to the Mafioso in Italy, and hailed as a prophet in Africa. When he returns to the United States, he faces down drug dealers and prostitutes while homeless, then disappears.

Finding Dad, Paranoid Schizophrenia: An End to the Search by Amanda LaPera

Amanda’s mission is clear: find her dad. Her motivation: unconditional love. She navigates a maze of medical bureaucracy and a tangle of relationships to discover that what she’s been searching for is not all that she finds.

After her parents’ divorce, Kiara ends up there—in the middle of nowhere—a land of Joshua trees, dust devils, and tumbleweeds, a life of limited means. Her heart says there’s more out there in the world. 
Carolyn was taught to fear God, but the only being she ever feared was her dad. When he moves their family to the desolate desert town of Lake Los Angeles, the small safety she once knew vanishes.
