“An evocative, sensitive, and beautifully crafted memoir by a journalist whose older sister and brother each suffered from schizophrenia; the brother ultimately committed suicide. … Simon does so many things well. She clearly explains the two major psychoses (schizophrenia and bipolar, or manic-depressive, disorder), as well as related psychological concepts. She also provides a short, useful reading list and succinctly explores some important economic factors influencing the care of the mentally ill. … Absorbing and moving – must reading for siblings of the mentally ill, members of their immediate and extended families, their friends, and all who work with them.” — Kirkus Reviews
“A strong, fascinating work.” – Boston Phoenix
“A moving memoir …The cycles of hope and despair are portrayed with the harrowing precision of Dante.” – Boston Globe
