Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family by Robert Kolker

dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

I picked this book up thinking it would only be about the family’s experience of schizophrenia and the influences to research. Realistically, it ended up feeling more like a book about family trauma. I wish there had been more influence from the brothers in the book who had schizophrenia, but the main sources were the sisters who did not have schizophrenia. The chapters about the research and pharmaceutical companies were some of the best chapters in the book.
