Hidden Valley Road

Reviews and more on my blog: Entering the Enchanted Castle

Read this for review on Shiny New Books (coming soon). I was riveted by this account of one family's struggle with schizophrenia, interspersed with information about the history of how the condition has been understood and treated. Some individuals, particularly the father, remained quite shadowy, but I thought the author overall did a fine job of presenting the information he gathered as a fluent narrative, allowing the reader a way into this complex drama. There is so much to learn and the willingness of at least some of the Galvins to share their story can help us to inch forward in understanding and hopefully treating this mysterious disease.
