The best psychology book I have ever read, and it sadly shows we have a long way to go in our approach to schizophrenia. Review to come.

While this book is absolutely heartbreaking, the stories of resilience and unconditional love are applicable to everyone in any situation.
I think what I took away most from this book is that everyone is just doing their best with what they know, and kindness and empathy go a LONG way.

Wow! What an interesting read. It's hard to believe that anyone in the Galvin family survived life at Hidden Valley Road. While the medical-psychological aspect is a large part of the story, there is also the emotional, living day by day side. It's interesting how much this family through their trials have contributed to understanding so much about mental illness.
