I adored this book. Great mix of scientific vignettes and the story of the family. This authors reading style just flows well for me.

dark emotional informative reflective medium-paced

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.
