(openPR) - Frederick, MD March 28, 2007-- PublishAmerica is proud to present The Voices of Ecstasy: Drug-Induced Schizophrenia and the Death of a College Student by Minister Wendy Y. Butts of Jonesboro, Georiga.

For three days, Gia Arrington lay dead in her dorm room. The official cause of death was listed as “suicide by asphyxia.” Hidden was the suicide note that revealed Gia’s desperation to end the demonic voices that began to overtake her five years before. Tragically, one ill-fated decision caused this vibrant young woman on academic scholarship to begin falling helplessly into a schizophrenic world plagued by spiritual darkness and psychological despair. After her death, the face once deemed beautiful could not be restored - it had simply melted away.

Candidly written by her mother, The Voices of Ecstasy reveals Gia’s heart-wrenching fall from a life graced with enormous promise to her untimely demise. This powerful memoir will cause young people everywhere to begin seriously considering the potential consequences of making careless choices.

Born in the Bronx, New York, Minister Wendy Y. Butts resides in Georiga with her husband and children. She holds a psychology degree and is committed to empowering young people. A poignant lecturer, Minister Butts continues to speak at public venues that focus on promoting personal accountability and overcoming at-risk behaviors.
