challenging dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

3.5

 Fascinating insight, both into the life of a family with six children with schizophrenia and into some of the science behind potential treatments. Lots on the nature vs, nurture debate, without really reaching a conclusion. Not a happy read, especially as the "unaffected" members of the family were as traumatised as the sick ones, but interesting.

4.0

This non-fiction book was similar to Radium Girls and Henrietta Lacks. It tells the story of a family with mental illness. It was really cool to see their impact on the health community. On the same hand the cracks that many of them fell through. It was an easy listen in the audio version.

It is non-fiction so they explain the violence as it happened.

Rough read.

Am left angry, questioning, and more

Deals with mental health (including its dark history), family dynamics, and lots of trauma.
