Summary of this Book...
From the book sleeve: The riveting story of an American family with 12 children, 6 of whom were diagnosed with schizophrenia, that became science's hope in the quest to conquer an elusive disease. The books was published in 2020 and the author is Robert Kolker.
This type of Book is good for...
learning about schizophrenia, how it effects a person, and a family.
I especially liked...
The book is easy to read and easy to understand. It gives a lot of insight into the schizophrenia.
This Book made me feel...
Stories like these are never easy to read. They are heartbreaking because schizophrenia is not easy to deal with.
The n/a of this Book...
There is a mini series about the book out. I think it's on HBO Max. I watched about 2 episodes and it follows the book pretty well. You will find several YouTube videos about the book as well.
I recommend this Book because...
it is enlightening about schizophrenia, especially if you know a person or a family dealing with it.
Further Comments...
Working as a 911 dispatcher, I get calls all the time from family members who simply CANNOT deal with their schizophrenic family member. The book opens a door and can start dialogue about this topic. The book sheds light on the genetics of schizophrenia, how it takes away the quality of life from the person suffering with it, but also from the family members dealing with it. The book will also inspire solutions that family members can undertake.
