Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman
Beloved YA author Shusterman has taken a page from his personal life as a father in this fictionalized story of a young man's encounter with schizophrenia. His hopeful approach balances the depth alluded to in the title.

A raw, painful depiction of self-abuse co-authored by the mother who shared the journey although it is all Elena's voice in the book. A second book was written by the mother.
