OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The heartrending story of a midcentury American family with twelve children, six of them diagnosed with schizophrenia, that became science's great hope in the quest to understand the disease. Don and Mimi Galvin seemed to be living the American dream. After World War II, Don's work with the Air Force brought them to Colorado, where their twelve children perfectly spanned the baby boom: the oldest born in 1945, the youngest in 1965. In those years, there was an established script for a family like the Galvins--aspiration, hard work, upward mobility, domestic harmony--and they worked hard to play their parts. But behind the scenes was a different story: psychological breakdown, sudden shocking violence, hidden abuse. By the mid-1970s, six of the ten Galvin boys, one after another, were diagnosed as schizophrenic. How could all this happen to one family?
What took place inside the house on Hidden Valley Road was so extraordinary that the Galvins became one of the first families to be studied by the National Institute of Mental Health. Their story offers a shadow history of the science of schizophrenia, from the era of institutionalization, lobotomy, and the schizophrenogenic mother to the search for genetic markers for the disease, always amid profound disagreements about the nature of the illness itself. And unbeknownst to the Galvins, samples of their DNA informed decades of genetic research that continues today, offering paths to treatment, prediction, and even eradication of the disease for future generations.
With clarity and compassion, bestselling and award-winning author Robert Kolker uncovers one family's unforgettable legacy of suffering, love, and hope.

You'll want to talk about this read!
Format: Hardcover
Read this novel when it first came out and still thinking and talking about it. Great read for a book club --- each reader may have different take away topics - young love, sisterhood, friendship, forgiveness, motherhood. I just bought several copies to give to some powerhouse women. Keep writing D Curtis. Your Fan.

I was skeptical, but for me, this one works.
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
I am usually skeptical of these "improve-your-whatever-with-this" products. But much to my surprise, for me this one lives up to the hype. After about a week, there was as noticeable improvement in my overall memory, especially older memories. My recall is faster, I retain things longer, and learn new things more quickly. As a side benefit, I am also now able to quickly find alternative solutions to everyday problems that come up.

GREAT product!! No complaints at all!
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
So I got this product as an experiment. I don’t like taking prescriptions - but that is just me. I have the most boring job on the planet. And it’s all I can do to make it just through the morning without falling asleep. when I saw this product, I decided to give it a try. I am totally and completely shocked how well this works. It doesn’t make me jittery at all. It just makes me feel alive and alert and ready to roll. And I can focus on the monotonous tasks at my job. When I do take them, I have to take them in the morning. they do last all day - again - this is for me. but I found when I took them in the afternoon, I was still wide awake at 1:00am. Which put a damper on my trying to drag myself out of bed and to work at the most boring job ever.

good experience so far
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been taking Qunol Brain Health for a little while now, and overall I’ve had a good experience with it. What stood out to me first was that it didn’t upset my stomach, which I’ve run into with other supplements. I feel like I’ve noticed a difference in my ability to stay focused during the day, especially when I’m working on tasks that usually make my mind wander. My energy levels also feel a bit steadier, without that late afternoon mental fog.
The capsules are easy to swallow, and I like that it combines several ingredients aimed at supporting memory and concentration rather than having to take them separately. It’s obviously not an overnight miracle, but with consistent use I do feel sharper and more mentally “on.”
The only downside for me is the price—it’s a little higher than some other brain supplements I’ve tried. But considering the quality and how it makes me feel, I think it’s worth it.
