by Robert Kolker
“Robert Kolker follows the saga of a large, all-American family--a family with a terrible burden--in this adult non-fiction work. Of the twelve children in the Galvin family, six suffer from schizophrenia. From the earliest signs in the eldest son in the 1960s and 1970s, through the rapid changes in mental health care in the 1980s, up to the family's current struggles and triumphs, Kolker delves deep into the intricacies and everyday lives of an extraordinary yet utterly ordinary American family.”- Rachel, Nobo Corner Library
