Many people recommend this book to me.
The incredible true story of a married couple with 12 kids, 6 of whom had schizophrenia. The dynamics of this family get more and more shocking as more and more secrets are revealed.
Fascinating, disturbing, and well-researched.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A friend lent me this book, but I ended up buying my own copy because I can see myself finding comfort in its pages during difficult times (and wanting to loan or gift it to others). It‘s packed with short passages that draw from topics like poetry, philosophy, science, history, and personal essays, all aiming to remind us there is always hope. I wanted to savor this book slowly, reading only a bit at a time to let the words digest.
This book is about a girl who suffers from OCD but tries to keep it hidden to appear normal. She then discovers a secret room of poets. The mental health rep in this is pretty good and it has a surprising plot twist I didn‘t see coming.
