But he did write it because he felt he had to write it. He hoped to let people living with schizophrenia know that they weren't alone and to humanize schizophrenia for people unfamiliar or fearful of it. He meant it also as a call to arms for our nation to change the way we look at and respond to mental illness. Powers was the right person to write this. He has braided together his family's story with research on the history and science of how our culture addresses mental illness. Show less

On the surface it's about the life and career of a charismatic fish biologist David Starr Jordan. But Miller's nearly pathological fascination with Jordan is rooted in her desperate hope to find the solutions to her own struggles--which include depression and a suicide attempt. Jordan built one of the most important (maybe the most important) collections of fish specimens in the world. When the 1907 San Francisco earthquake destroyed his collection, Jordan didn't give up. He began sorting the decomposing fish bodies and relabeling them, in a seemingly insurmountable task to restore his collection. Miller wonders how she can have this sort of focus, resilience and perseverance and looks to Jordan's life for answers. She takes us on a trip that ends up in the most unexpected places and conclusions and ultimately helps her reconcile her own life. Show less
